ABSTRACT
The transition from pediatric to adult models of care poses many challenges to adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients. Several academic societies have established clinical reports to help providers prepare patients for this transition, facilitate the transfer of care between providers, and integrate patients into adult models of care. Furthermore, several novel care delivery models have been developed to expand health care transition (HCT) services. Despite this, a minority of patients receive transition services meeting the goals of these clinical reports and few data exist on their effectiveness. Given this, ongoing research and clinical innovation in the field are imperative. This article aims to summarize the current landscape of HCT for AYAs, outline the contemporary imperative for its integration into preventive health care given the unique challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, and expand the current literature by providing a summary of novel emerging strategies being used to meet the health care transition (HCT) needs of adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients.
