Transition Guide Dissemination to Foster Patient-Care Team Conversations: A Childhood Arthritis Rheumatology Research Alliance Transition Learning Collaborative Pilot Implementation Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Uptake of evidence-informed health care transition processes among pediatric rheumatologists is low despite poor outcomes of transition from pediatric to adult care. We piloted a learning collaborative model to implement transition guides. We dually assessed implementation outcomes and changes in reported patient-care team discussions about transition.

Methods

This was a type II hybrid effectiveness-implementation pilot study of transition guide dissemination to patients at least 14 years old with rheumatic conditions across nine pediatric rheumatology centers in the Childhood Arthritis Rheumatology Research Alliance Transition Learning Collaborative. We evaluated implementation outcomes (feasibility, adaptations, and fidelity) and the proportion of patients survey
