This session will explore four quality improvement projects focused on different aspects of healthcare transition.

Dr. Brendan Kleiboer, Pediatric Hematologist with the Hemophilia Treatment Center of Levine Cancer Center and Levine Children’s Hospital in North Carolina, will share how his HTC is updating the process for distributing transition readiness assessments and using results to guide education delivered to the patient. Dr. Kelly Bush, Pediatric Hematologist with Rady Children’s Hospital in California, will share her team’s work to implement a personalized bleeding action plan as a tool to help patients learn about medications and treating bleeds. Dave Rushlow, Social Worker with Cowell Family Cancer Center HTC in Michigan, will discuss his HTC’s work with young adult patients and using a self-care skills assessment to guide the process of setting goals to stay healthy. Finally, Linda Vo, Social Worker, The Ohio State University HTC, will speak to her HTC's work to increase the rate of completed initial transition visits at her adult-only HTC as patients move from a separate pediatric HTC.

Presenters will discuss their project planning and implementation processes, project successes and challenges, and lessons learned. This session is designed to create a space for collective learning about QI projects – including in-process projects – while also celebrating the successes of making incremental small changes in HTC practice!
