Quality Indicators for Transition from Paediatric to Adult Care for Youth with Chronic Conditions: A Consensus-Building Multistakeholder Initiative

The Hospital for Sick Children and RAND, a nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization, are conducting a study to identify quality indicators that can help measure and track outcomes for transition from paediatric to adult care.

This multi-stage study earlier surveyed youth currently transitioning from paediatric to adult care or who had completed such a transition; parents, guardians, or caregivers of such youth; clinicians involved in transition care delivery; and healthcare administrators involved in child health management, leadership, or administration.

The next stage involves a consensus-building process in which experts take the existing data and work together to create a set of quality indicators for the transition to adult care that apply across physical, developmental, and mental health conditions, clinical care settings, and health jurisdictions.
