Clinical Trial Summary

This study seeks to automate the process of youth to adult transition using an existing computerized decision support system in primary care. Subjects will complete the TRAQ readiness questionnaire after the age of 14, and then their responses will be flagged for the physician to review and provide additional transition related educational materials. Once transition is necessary, the system sends an automated email to the responsible party in the office.


Clinical Trial Description

This proposal seeks to improve transition care using health information technology. The process of transition from a pediatric to adult provider is a universal need across both primary care and subspecialties. Little work has been done specifically within pediatric gastroenterology to address the needs of patients with chronic gastrointestinal disease. The investigators propose to use an existing computerized clinical decision support system (CHICA - the Child Health Improvement through Computer Automation system) to pilot a youth-to-adult Transition module within a large primary care network. This will be accomplished by automating the "Six Core Elements of Healthcare Transition" set forth by the National Health Care Transition Center. These core elements consist of: (1) sharing the transition policy with families, (2) providing transition tracking and monitoring, (3) assessing transition readiness using a standardized tool (the TRAQ - Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire), (4) transition planning through iterative preparation of all necessary transition skills and documents, (5) accomplishing the transfer of care itself, and (6) assessing transfer completion. Each of these core elements will be accomplished using a combination of patient-facing (tablets) and providerfacing (webforms alongside the electronic medical record). Once these software rules are written and tested, they will be piloted in the existing primary care decision support system. The investigators will iteratively assess the following goals: (1) each patient's transition readiness as appropriate for their age, and (2) provider and patient satisfaction with the transition process. These outcomes will be compared in a prepost design, data will be collected during the first 6 months prior to the Transition module being implemented in CHICA. Following this 6-month period, the Transition module will be turned on, and a repeat assessment made of these outcomes. If this pilot test is successful, the investigators will then be ready to launch this module in a similar system (CHICA-GI) that will be live in the pediatric gastroenterology clinic. Once this system has a transition module active, the investigators will be able to test if it accomplishes similar goals for gastroenterology subspecialty patients, including disease-specific transition goals, in future R21 and R01 applications. ;
