Julie Corder, CNP, and Carrie Cuomo, DNP, CPNP<\/a>, with the Cleveland Clinic Learning Hospital, discuss the critical stages of transition from pediatric to adult healthcare for individuals with complex medical needs. They define health care transitions (HCT), outline core elements for a successful HCT, and provide various resources. The presenters consider potential timelines and goals for different stages of HCT and discuss what turning 18 means in the US. Cuomo and Corder underscore the role that telehealth can play in HCT and share a video resource with explanations and social stories. Throughout the presentation, the speakers emphasize that it is never too late or too early to begin preparing for HCT and that transition plans are individual and different. They close with a question and answer session where they discuss insurance, COVID anxiety, social workers, and more. <\/span><\/p>\n
