Family Toolkit to Prepare Parents/Caregivers for their Youth's Transition to Adult Care
Got Transition and its National Family Health Care Transition Advisory Group have developed a new toolkit for families to use to guide their youth’s transition
from pediatric to adult health care. The Family
Toolkit includes easy-to-use resources for youth and families to help youth assume more independence in taking care of their own health and using health services.
Materials include a transition timeline, questions to ask your doctor, what turning 18 means for one’s health, and more. Got Transition staff and representatives of its National Family HCT Advisory Group will host a webinar about the Toolkit on October 27th
at 1pm ET. Register HERE!

The National Alliance Receives Funding to Advance Quality Measurement of Transition
|
|
The National Alliance to Advance Adolescent Health/Got Transition has received funding from the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health to develop a new
health care transition (HCT) quality measurement framework and a set of existing measures that can be used to evaluate different aspects of transitional care, working with a multi-stakeholder advisory group. Quality measurement is an important vehicle to accelerate
HCT improvement and accountability and incentivize clinicians and health systems to provide HCT services. For more information about this exciting grant, please read the
following
press release.

New Report Offers Options of Medicaid Managed Care Contract Language to Expand the Availability of Pediatric-to-Adult
Transitional Care
|
|
The National Alliance to Advance Adolescent Health/Got Transition has developed a new report,
Medicaid
Managed Care Contract Language to Expand the Availability of Pediatric-to-Adult Transitional Care, which offers options of Medicaid managed care contract provisions
that states can use or adapt to improve the availability of HCT services for youth and families. Suggestions are included on the following topics: definitions, member services and education, provider network, covered services, care coordination, and quality
and evaluation. National Alliance/Got Transition staff will be hosting a webinar on November 13th
at 2pm ET, which will include examples of how Florida and Texas have included transition language in their Medicaid managed care contracts.
