Local time (Corresponding local time at your current location)
The duration of this webinar is scheduled for 60 minutes.

Overview

Transitioning care of pediatric transplant recipients to adult care has an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Adolescents and young adults are faced with numerous challenges during this developmental phase, which can make the transition more difficult. Many transplant programs have created successful transition of care programs thus reducing the morbidity and mortality of this patient group. In addition to these programs, institutions have worked to develop programs aimed to empower adolescents in taking charge of their health. Our goal is to present the problem, current challenges, successful transition of care programs and solutions from an international perspective.

Learning Objectives

  1. Discuss the current statistical trends of healthcare outcomes for solid organ transplant patients in the U.S. and Europe
  2. Evaluate the efficacy of transition of care clinic strategies that are currently being used and how we can implement change
  3. Discuss how providers can advocate for patients at the healthcare policy level to assure transition of care clinics are sustainable and funded
  4. Identify strategies directed at parental coping skills to better assist transition process
