91. Evaluation of an Educational Intervention among Pediatric and Medicine-Pediatric Residents to Promote Healthcare Transition Planning

Most pediatric providers are ill-equipped to help patients learn the skills needed to effectively manage their adult healthcare. In order to initiate a successful transition from pediatric to adult care, medical providers need knowledge and skills in this area which starts with introducing transition care to medical residents during residency. An electronic medical record-based Transition Planning Tool (TPT) was developed to guide provider-patient interactions and provide resources addressing patient deficits in knowledge/skills regarding healthcare self-management.
