Medical Transition

In the field of medicine, transition is a term used to describe the process of moving from one stage of life to another. This can include transitions from childhood to adulthood, from health to illness, or from one type of healthcare to another.

Pediatric to Adult Care

One common type of medical transition is the move from pediatric to adult care. This transition is often a challenging time for young people and their families, as they must navigate new healthcare systems, manage their own health, and adjust to new roles and responsibilities.

Health to Illness

Another type of medical transition is the shift from health to illness. This can occur when a person is diagnosed with a chronic illness, such as diabetes or cancer, or when a person experiences a sudden health crisis, such as a heart attack or stroke.

Transition Care

Transition care is a type of healthcare that is designed to help individuals navigate these transitions. This can include services such as care coordination, patient education, and supportive care.
