Got Transition's Six Core Elements of Healthcare Transition

Healthcare transition is the process of moving a child from their child/family-centered healthcare to an adult healthcare model. Got Transition’s Six Core Elements of Health Care Transition™ 3.0 is the widely adopted approach to the transition from pediatric to adult healthcare, and the approach Valley Children’s Adult and Transition of Care Program takes.

The Six Core Elements ™ transitioning youth from pediatric to adult healthcare are as follows:

1. Policy/Guide: Develop, discuss and share transition and care policy/guide
2. Tracking & Monitoring: Track progress using a flow sheet registry
3. Readiness: Assess self-care skills and offer education on identified needs
4. Planning: Develop HCT plan with medical summary
5. Transfer of Care: Transfer to adult-centered care and to an adult practice
6. Transition Completion: Confirm transfer completion and elicit consumer feedback
