Health care transition, or HCT, is the process of moving from a child/family-centered model of health care to an adult/patient-centered model of health care, with or without transferring to a new clinician. HCT is thought of as a process and not a one-time event that is individualized for both the patient and their caregivers. Much of the work that has been completed to date in the transition literature is through the lens of mapping this process and patient-level outcomes. However newer literature has been focused on defining outcomes via the Institute for Healthcare Improvement Quintuple Aim framework. One of the five areas of the quintuple aim is the concept of population health. The Healthcare Transition and Disease Self- Management SIG will focus this session specifically on understanding the concept of population health for pediatric to adult transitional care through the lens of pediatrics and adult medicine. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of what population health is and work in groups to define population health outcomes for transitional aged youth.

Agenda:
Introductions and general updates (5 min) - Co-Chairs
Pediatric to adult transitional care population health through the lens of pediatrics and adult medicine (15 min) - Co-Chairs
Break (5 min)
Merging pediatric and adult population health ideas through variety of frameworks including Age Friendly Health Systems (20 min) - large group facilitated discussion
Creating a pediatric to adult transitional care population health roadmap for future research considerations (30 min) - small group work
Q & A (15 min)

Learning Objectives:

Define pediatric to adult transitional care population health through the lens of both pediatric and adult health care delivery.
Examine transition outcomes through population health across both inpatient and outpatient settings .
Review population frameworks such as Age-Friendly Health Systems as a pragmatic existing framework for measuring population-level pediatric to adult healthcare understanding transition outcomes.
