Health Care Transition Learning Collaborative
Introduction
Welcome to the Health Care Transition Learning Collaborative, a platform dedicated to improving health care transition for individuals with chronic conditions. Led by Foley James D MD, a renowned expert in the field, this collaborative effort aims to provide comprehensive support and resources to patients, caregivers, and health care professionals.
About the Health Care Transition Learning Collaborative
The Health Care Transition Learning Collaborative (HCTLC) is an initiative that brings together experts, patients, and caregivers to address the challenges of transitioning between pediatric and adult health care systems. Transitioning from child-centered to adult-centered care is a critical phase for individuals with chronic conditions, as it involves navigating new settings, providers, and managing increased responsibilities.
Foley James D MD recognized the need for a collaborative effort in improving health care transition and created HCTLC to foster knowledge exchange, educational opportunities, and collaboration among stakeholders. Through HCTLC, patients, caregivers, and health care professionals can access evidence-based resources, best practices, and tools to enhance the transition process.
