Defining Successful Transition and Transfer: This year's PAS Healthcare Transition and Disease Self-Management SIG will review and evaluate current definitions of a successful transition to adult health care. There is currently no consensus definition and studies of various HCT interventions have defined successful transition using different outcomes. The SIG session will begin with a review of the literature over the last several years to better understand the varied definitions of a successful transition to adult care. While reviewing past literature, we aim to begin working towards establishing consensus on what defines successful transitions to adult care. Next, in the keynote presentation, a young adult who has completed transfer to adult providers will discuss his/her definition of success. The final portion of the workshop will be an interactive process of reviewing the discussed literature, and ranking the importance of known outcomes in each small group. The groups will then each share their thoughts to promote a larger group discussion. Finally, attendees will set next steps for continuing the work of developing consensus definitions of successful HCT with SIG members and other collaborators after the SIG meeting .
