Preparing all youth for the transition to adult-oriented care, adulthood itself, and a greater responsibility for their own health and health-care is an essential part of pediatric care. This process, typically described as health-care transition, can occur throughout ongoing pediatric health-care to prepare patients for transfer to an adult clinician and integration into adult care. Gaps remain in practice and in outcomes research regarding health-care transition. This review discusses recent literature, details best practices, and recommends guidance and tools to assist pediatric clinicians in providing a smooth transition process and a successful transfer to adult care for youth with and without special health-care needs.
为所有青年做好向成人导向的医疗保健、成年期本身以及对自己健康和医疗保健承担更大责任的准备，是儿科医疗保健的一个重要组成部分。这个过程通常被描述为医疗保健过渡，可以在持续的儿科医疗保健中进行，以使患者能够转至成人临床医生并融入成人护理。在医疗保健过渡方面，实践和结果研究仍存在差距。这篇综述讨论了最近的文献，详细介绍了最佳实践，并建议了指导和工具，以帮助儿科临床医生为有和没有特殊医疗需求的青年提供顺利的过渡过程和成功的向成人护理的转移。
