A Toolkit for Healthcare Transition for Adolescents With Classical Myeloproliferative Neoplasms
Classical myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are being identified more frequently in adolescents. There is no guidance on the healthcare transition of young MPN patients from pediatric to adult medicine. Therefore, we convened an international panel of experts in both pediatric and adult MPN care to develop three tools to facilitate high-quality healthcare transition: a physician education tool, a transition readiness assessment tool, and a consensus statement of practice recommendations to ensure a more seamless transition in the care adolescents receive. These tools can help ensure a better healthcare transition for young patients. The next steps include evaluating the readiness assessment tool with adolescent patients.
