Transitioning patients from community pediatricians into adult care

Lead 
Dr. Aven Poynter | Pediatrics
Health Authority 
Fraser Health Authority (FHA)

Aim: To enhance the capacity of BC Community Pediatricians to transition/transfer youth with chronic/complex health conditions to adult care (i.e., to family practitioners, adult specialists and/or allied health supports).

Summary: To build an infrastructure for transition of Tier 2 and 3 patients (patients with conditions like autism, ADHD, developmental disabilities, Down’s and other chromosomal syndromes, cerebral palsy, mental  illness, and FASD) and to test and evaluate that infrastructure on a focused scale by piloting pairs (community pediatrician and family physician  [FP]) and triads (community pediatrician, FP, and adult specialists - with allied health providers if appropriate) to create generic transition planning.

The Specialist Services Committee acknowledges that we work on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of many different Indigenous Nations throughout British Columbia.

Acknowledging that we are on the traditional territories of First Nations communities is an expression of cultural humility and involves recognizing our duty and desire to support the provision of culturally safe care to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people in BC.
