Challenges:• Providing effective continuum of care• Adequate preparation for “launching” & associated anxiety
related to separation• Having to tell my whole story again/being an “unknown”• No “chemistry”/No show! – Lost Children/Lost Adults• Preparing for leaving home/being on one’s own
Transition Clinics: A Bridge from where they’ve been to where they’re going:( cont.)
• at least 6 month ramp up preparation for transition – from both clinics
• effective patient & family needs assessment to help facilitate leaving home/doing daily diabetes management more independently
• Identification of on-going support personnel and resources/role clarification
Transition Clinics: A Bridge from where they’ve been to where they’re going:
Resources Needed:• individual & family counseling – impact of past
management behavior on reality of future plans• launching & landing support – collaborative
