Changing Epidemiology of Diseases Arising in Childhood
About 750,000 youth with special health care needs turn 18 each year; Most will live well into adulthood Cystic fibrosis: median survival is 40 Sickle cell disease: Mid 40s
Cerebral Palsy In US ~800,000 people have CP; >400,000 are adults 85% of young adults with CP will reach age 50, 70%
will reach age 60; Spina Bifida
80% probability of survival until age 30Murphy KP, et Al. Dev Med Child Neural 1995;37:1075–84.Frisch and Msall. Developmental Disabilities Research Reviews 18:-84–94 (2013) Hemming, et. Al. Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology 2006, 48: 90–95

Transfer of CareDiscrete event, physical transfer
from a pediatric to an adult provider; should occur between ages 18-21+
Transition PreparationIncreased responsibility for
health care self-management; understanding and planning for changes in health needs, insurance, and providers in adulthood; should occur
across ages 12-21+ The purposeful, planned movement
of adolescents and young adults from child-centered to adult-oriented health care systems.
Health Care Transition (HCT)
What is Health Care Transition?
Successful Transition Patients are engaged in and
receive on-going patient-centered adult care.
AAP Consensus Statement, 2011

Why is HCT Important? Without support during transition youth may:
Lose of insurance Decreased access Decreased medication adherence Increased ER visits, hospitalizations Deterioration in health; poor out comes
• HIV-decreased CD4 counts; Diabetes-worsening control; Transplant-rejection; Congenital Heart Disease—premature death

FACTORS IMPACTING HEALTH CARE TRANSITION
Factors Impacting HCT
Social Trends Youth development Health insuranceAvailability of adult providers Preparation by pediatricians and
pediatric specialists
Source: U.S. Census Bureau , 1997
Secular Changes:Emerging Adulthood 18-29
More youth pursuing higher education 1940’s—14% post HS ed. 1990’s—60% Mixed paths of education & vocation Including youth with serious health conditions
Age of marriage is increasing 1940-1950’s it was 20 years of age; 1990’s it rose to 25-29 years of ageIncrease in length of transition
•—up to late 20’s, early 30’s.

Cognitive Development: Piaget’s Formal Operational Thought
EARLY (11-13)
MIDDLE (14-16)
LATE (17-21)
Concrete thought
No future perspective
Abstraction
Has future perspective; not always used
Established abstract thought
Future oriented
6
Adolescent Brain Development
Somerville, Jones, & Casey (2010)
Adolescents use rational calculation to perceive risks and benefits
They do not believe they are invulnerable! May even overestimate key risks (lung
cancer from smoking; HIV risk; death) BUT
They Lack of future orientation => discount risks
AND More intense drive for immediate benefit Impulsive –lack of development of executive fxn Highly influenced by peer/social group
Fischhoff (2008); Jamieson & Romer (2008); Reyna & Farley (2006)
Medical Decision-Making and Disease Self Management
Immediate benefits outweigh long term risks
• Inconvenience of Bowel program vs. complications from constipation
• Taking daily medications requires commitment to routine
• Pain of Depo shot vs. risk of pregnancy• Staying out with friends vs. self-
catheterization Future orientation & abstract throught
needed for competent self management

Factors Impacting HCT
Social Trends Youth development Family Barriers Health Insurance-US
Availability of adult providers Preparation by pediatricians and

Family Barriers Readiness to let go
Attachment to pediatric providers Recognition of child’s ability to care for
self and self-advocate Poverty and disadvantaged
environment Less services and supports Perhaps more natural supports
Family cohesion and communication Stressed from many angles

Comfort of Adult Providers by Condition 2008 New Hampshire
Why Internists Won’t Take YSHCN
Lack of training in conditions arising in childhood
Lack of Time/reimbursement Lack of support for care coordination Lack of Access to super-specialists
adolescent medicine; adult congenital heart; adult spasticity management, etc.
Lack of medical summary /communicationOkumura et al, JGIM 2008; AAP Periodic Survey 2008; Thompson et al, Pediatrics, 2009; Peter N. Pediatrics. 2009; 123;417

National Survey of Parents of Children with Special Health Care Needs
17,114 parents of YSHCN aged 12-17
Only 40% of parents got transition communication1. Shifting care to an adult provider2. Future adult health care needs3. Upcoming eligibility changes in health insurance4. Encouraging youth to take responsibility for their care
Less likely to receive HCT counseling if male, non-white, public/no insurance
More likely if have a medical home (55% vs. 29%)
Ref: McManus et al, Pediatrics, 2013; Lotstein et al, Pediatrics 2009
How are we doing? Parents of youth with Cerebral Palsy report low rates
of transition counseling 46% were counseled on self-management; 29% discussed transfer
to adult providers
Parents of youth with Profound ID report not feeling prepared to move to adult care. Limited preparation; Fragmented care in adult system; Their
suggestions to improve transition: early start, information provision, coordination between pediatric and adult care.
Only 21.6% of young adult respondents in the 2007 Survey of Adult Transition and Health made a successful transition to adult healthcare. 24% of young adults had received key transition counseling

New Models of Health Care Transition Clinics
• Sub-specialty based: Cystic Fibrosis, Diabetes, Sickle Cell Dz.,
Intellectual Disabilities (Down Syndrome), Nephrology (STARx Program at UNC), PedsCancer Survivor/Late Effects Clinics
Primary care based: JaxHATS Program at University of Florida UCLA Med-Peds Transition Care Program Texas Childrens/Baylor Transition Program
TWO KEY ELEMENTS:
1. Self management support
2. Care coordination
15
SELF MANAGEMENT SUPPORT
Encourage Patient Self Management and Adherence
Make patients — including those who have cognitive disabilities — central members of their health-care team Have them participate in care decisions
Help them build self-advocacy skills, Speak directly to them about their care
Caregivers to step into a supportive, rather than directive, role.
Arrange for formal neurocognitive and functional testing of patients who have cognitive impairment
Refer to disability-related advocacy and support groups for youth and young adults
Wagner. Gillette Children’s Hospital. Pediatric Perspectives. 2007
Transition Readiness (TR) Assessment and Training
Assess readiness to transition Self management skills Making appointments and talking with providers Understanding of insurance Other life goals
Specific Transition Readiness Visits Assess transition readiness Education, negotiate transition goals Homework assignments
• make medication list/calendar; • bring list of questions for the doctor or nurse• next visit be in room alone with doctor
16
TRAQ:Transition ReadinessAssessment Questionnaire
Validation of Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ)
High reliability overall; Cronbach’s alpha 0.94) Good reliability for 4 of the 5 subscales (Cronbach’s
alpha = .90 to .77) All 5 subscales increase with age (p < 0.005) Gender differences found (females > males
adjusted for age)
Scores go up with HCT intervention Makie—58 adolescents (16-18) RCT to: a) usual
care; vs. b) 1 hour of nursing education on HCT TRAQ self-management scores increased by 0.8
unit vs. 0.2 for controls(p < 0.05)Sawicki, Wood, et. Al, 2007; Wood, et. Al, Academic Pediatrics 2014Mackie AS, et al. Heart 2014;100:1113–1118. doi:10.1136/heartjnl-2014-305748
Intervention Trials in HCTMD2Me
81 Adolescents with IBD, CF and T1D MD2Me recipients received a 2-month intensive Web-based and
text-delivered disease management and skill-based intervention MD2Me recipients also had access to a texting algorithm for
disease assessment and health care team contact.

CARE COORDINATION
18
“Care coordination is a process that facilitates linkage of children and their families with appropriate services and resources in a coordinated effort to achieve good health.”
Benefits of Care Coordination Allows for clinical and process improvements Reduces health care costs
Reduced hospital/ER visits Improves family satisfaction Helps families who are struggling to access
needed services and need professional assistance to do so
Links between health care and educational/vocational systems are important for youth with special health care needs
AAP Policy Statement on Care Coordination
Key Elements of a Patient-Oriented HCT Care Plan
Information to make the patient an informed consumer Know their medication, devices,
equipment, supplies... Basic history, physicians, providers,
insurance Know how to take care of themselves
on a day-to-day basis Know what to be concerned about
Know what to do in an emergency
