Transition from pediatric to adult medical care and the significant psychosocial considerations impacting this developmental process are a primary focus in health care today. Social workers are often the informal brokers of this complex and nuanced process and are uniquely trained to complete biopsychosocial assessments to understand the needs of patients and families and address psychosocial factors. Their extensive knowledge of resources and systems, along with their sophisticated understanding of the relationship issues, family dynamics, cultural implications, and basic person-in-context approach allow for unique collaboration with the health care team, family, and community supports to develop successful transition plans and programs.
从儿科到成人医疗保健的过渡，以及影响这一发展过程的重要社会心理因素，是当今医疗保健的主要关注点。社会工作者通常是这一复杂而微妙过程的非正式协调者，他们经过专门培训，可以进行生物心理社会评估，以了解患者和家庭的需求，并解决社会心理因素。他们对资源和系统的广泛了解，以及对关系问题、家庭动态、文化影响和基本的情境中的人理解，使他们能够与医疗保健团队、家庭和社区支持进行独特的合作，制定成功的过渡计划和方案。
