A few helpful tips on participating in tonight’s #PHMFellowJC
#PHMFellowJC @PHMFellowJC
For the purpose of this #PHMFellowJC discussion, we should define #transition. @SAHMtweets defines it as "the purposeful, planned movement from adolescents and young adults with chronic physical and medical conditions from child-centered to adult-oriented health care systems"

Dr. Jennifer Chen, MD FAAP 林 明 堯 @DrJenChen4kids
T1: I don't think we have an official transition policy that covers the whole institution, like I've definitely admitted 21+ yo if they had chronic issues followed by peds specialists. A lot of them are MediCal/CCS which only covers up to 21 yo, though #PHMFellowJC
John @jmomdphd
@DivergentTash @PHMFellowJC @AJenkins_MD @CincyPHMFellows Welcome! #PHMFellowJC
Kate Kyler, MD @kedkyler
T1: I believe we have a general age limit cut of of 21 for people with medical complexity, with some exceptions. Kids with congenital cardiac disease, neurosurgical problems, CF, some oncologic processes are a few that seem to stick around longer. #PHMFellowJC

@PHMFellowJC Joining this discussion for first time ! #PHMFellowJC
Sonya Tang Girdwood 鄧 智佳, MD, PhD @STangGirdwood
#PHMFellowJC T1a: No age limit as far as I know @CincyChildrens. On #complexcare, we are thinking about #transition when pts are in their 20's, but definitely have had adults in 30's on our service. Don't tell my husband tho b/c I always tell him I don't take care of adults.
Sonya Tang Girdwood 鄧 智佳, MD, PhD @STangGirdwood
#PHMFellowJC T1a: We once had a 70+ y/o who had a specialized surgery and admitted overnight. She told the nurses she felt a flutter in her heart...that led to a lot of discussion about systems based issues with caring for adults in a free-standing children's hospital.
Sonya Tang Girdwood 鄧 智佳, MD, PhD @STangGirdwood
#PHMFellowJC T1a: Our heart institute has decided to be the center for adults with congenital heart dz. As a pediatric intern, I learned how to do an EKG on a neonate and next day, had to do one on a 42 y/o female. Placement of leads had its different challenges for both.
Dan Herchline @herchd
T1 - I'm actually not certain if there is a strict cutoff age here at CHOP but most of the older patients we admit have either cardiac, onc, or medical complexity #phmfellowjc

#PHMFellowJC T1b: For our #PedsHM #complexcare service: respiratory distress/infections, feeding intolerance/GI issues, seizures/altered mental status...this is true for adults and children on our service.
Anika Kumar, MD (she/her) @freckledpedidoc
T1 a) we usually use a cut-off of 18. b) older patients are admitted if they follow with pediatric sub-specialists, generally those pts are admitted by our sub-specialty colleagues #PHMFellowJC

Laura Lawler, MD @DocLauraLawler
@PHMFellowJC A1 (or is it T1), we do not have formal policies per se (as far as I know) but @christianacare does have a formal, transition program for young adults w/ complex needs. This is done in coordination w/ the state’s only chidlren’s hospital. #TransitionMedicine #PHMFellowJC
Ashley Jenkins @AJenkins_MD
What do you consider an ‘older’ patient when working in a children’s hospital or pediatric unit? #PHMFellowJC #T1
Dr. Jennifer Chen, MD FAAP 林 明 堯 @DrJenChen4kids
T1a: theoretically 21, as mentioned above T1b: Agree with @jmomdphd re: resp issues and seizures, though would also add things like feeding tube issues, #congenitalheartdisease, etc (not always to #PedsHM, but sometimes we get consulted by the subspecialists) #PHMfellowJC

Dan Herchline @herchd
@AJenkins_MD I think it depends on the issue. For kids with medical complexity, 30 seems like the upper bound but for healthy kids with no past medical, early twenties seems more appropriate #PHMFellowJC
Anika Kumar, MD (she/her) @freckledpedidoc
T1 practices at my prior employer were similar. We used 18 yrs as our cut-off because our leaning hospital had limited beds. #PHMFellowJC
Kate Kyler, MD @kedkyler
@STangGirdwood @CincyChildrens Interesting! Thinking about transition in their 20s sounds late to me, but we may not be providing the same kind of specialized cardiac care that Cincy does! We usually start talking about it around age 18. Endo and pulm are especially good about transitioning #PHMFellowJC
momdoc @drbatraneo
@PHMFellowJC The age limit in our institution is 18 yrs for general pediatric admissions #PHMFellowJC
Laura Lawler, MD @DocLauraLawler
@PHMFellowJC @christianacare A1/T1 part a - At the children’s hospital (where I trained a LONG time ago), I believe they still have some general policies with admission upper age limits 18-21, depending on whether a known medical problem vs new problem. But I’m not certain. #PHMFellowJC
#PHMFellowJC @PHMFellowJC
@herchd Something to look into, perhaps? Or ask your fellowship director, @chris_bonafide s? #PHMFellowJC
Dr. Jennifer Chen, MD FAAP 林 明 堯 @DrJenChen4kids
@DocLauraLawler @jmomdphd @PHMFellowJC @AJenkins_MD @CincyPHMFellows @christianacare Yes, @STangGirdwood and I had so much fun meeting #tweetiatricians IRL at @AAPexperieNCE too! #PHMFellowJC
Atashi Mandal @DivergentTash
@PHMFellowJC Sad to say no formal transition process in place; having said that, we have a fully integrated health care delivery system, including the EMR, so information transfer is not problematic for those continuing their care here #PHMfellowjc

@PHMFellowJC @AJenkins_MD Yes, but just me #PHMfellowjc
Dr. Jennifer Chen, MD FAAP 林 明 堯 @DrJenChen4kids
@TMarshall_MD @AJenkins_MD I had an interesting situation the other night where an adult ED was confused about admitting a previously healthy 18 yo patient who "had children's insurance" and I had to reassure them they should still be able to admit! #PHMFellowJC

Anika Kumar, MD (she/her) @freckledpedidoc
@AJenkins_MD I would use over 26. At my current place of practice the pediatric nursing staff & pediatric residents aren’t insured to care for patients over the age of 26. That poses a serious risk to patients over the age of 26. #PHMFellowJC
Atashi Mandal @DivergentTash
@AJenkins_MD @PHMFellowJC Anyone over 18 #phmfellowjc
#PHMFellowJC @PHMFellowJC
Thanks for all your input so far! Let's move on to the next #PHMFellowJC question. Most of our poll responders are from free-standing children's hospitals. T2: How do you think the institutional context and roles of survey respondents might influence answers to surveys? https://t.co/oQQdvI7BGh
John @jmomdphd
@freckledpedidoc @AJenkins_MD Very interesting point @freckledpedidoc. I’d have to look to see if there’s a restriction on our institution’s insurance coverage… #PHMFellowJC
Ashley Jenkins @AJenkins_MD
For those of you working at institutions with a #transition policies or age cut offs, how were those decided upon? #PHMFellowJC #T1
Laura Lawler, MD @DocLauraLawler
@PHMFellowJC @drbatraneo Yay - another @christianacare @BayhealthDE peds hospitalist participating. This is #awesome! (Our 3 sites I referenced earlier are in 2 different health-systems.) #PHMFellowJC Dr. Batra - thanks for participating! PHM Fellow chats are are always fun & informative.
Sonya Tang Girdwood 鄧 智佳, MD, PhD @STangGirdwood
@kedkyler @CincyChildrens Same! Our endo and pulm are good about transitioning as well! #PHMFellowJC
Dr. Jennifer Chen, MD FAAP 林 明 堯 @DrJenChen4kids
@jmomdphd @freckledpedidoc @AJenkins_MD Huh, I'd never even though of the potential malpractice insurance issue, though it makes sense #phmfellowJC
#PHMFellowJC @PHMFellowJC
Thx @DocLauraLawler for pointing out in our #PHMFellowJC poll that while community hospitals w/peds units are technically hospitals-w/in-hospitals, they are not in the @hospitals4kids directory and were not recruited for the survey. T2: How do you think this affected the results?
Kate Kyler, MD @kedkyler
@freckledpedidoc @AJenkins_MD That's something I've never considered. I wonder if that is a typical cut off or not? #PHMFellowJC
Jacqueline Walker @jackiewalkermd
@PHMFellowJC T1. No true age limits to my knowledge. Most pts transition at 18, and almost all do by 21. Exceptions are pts with underlying medical complexity (chronic conditions originating in childhood, genetic/metabolic, tech dependence, etc). #PHMFellowJC
#PHMFellowJC @PHMFellowJC
@MikePlattMD @AJenkins_MD @CincyPHMFellows Welcome! Thanks for multitasking while participating in #PHMFellowJC!

I’m also curious how many of you would you consider surveying adult hospitals about inpatient #TransitionMedicine related topics on a national level? #PHMFellowJC #T2
Dan Herchline @herchd

T2: Large free-standing childrens hospitals may care for a larger number of medically complex teens, making them more likely to have formal transition care process models #PHMFellowJC

@jmomdphd @freckledpedidoc For some it may also be driven by state and insurance. @DrJenChen4kids does Medi-cal put limitations on if it will cover hospitalization of an adult at a children’s hospital? #PHMfellowJC #T1
Brian may @Bmayzing
#PHMFellowJC T2 hard to say who’s responding surveys with such drastic variability with subspecialty care. Patients transition at different times based on complexity hard to get full picture of hospital process. #subspecialtysilo
Dr. Jennifer Chen, MD FAAP 林 明 堯 @DrJenChen4kids
T2: Having trained mainly in freestanding children's hospitals, I feel like we don't think about #transition care enough, but it's starting to move. I've asked families of older pts if they've thought about changing PCPs or conservatorship for certain cases #PHMFellowJC
Laura Lawler, MD @DocLauraLawler
@PHMFellowJC @christianacare Separate from this program (though coordinated?), our med-peds hospitalists (which I tweeted about earlier this wk) have recently begun innovative inpt approach to complex care, which is including some work w/ young adults w/ compelx needs. Program is very new. #PHMFellowJC 2/2
Ashley Jenkins @AJenkins_MD
@PHMFellowJC @DivergentTash I’m excited to hear what folks have to say about possible outcomes to measure and track! #PHMFellowJC #T4
Atashi Mandal @DivergentTash
@PHMFellowJC @DocLauraLawler @hospitals4kids And most of the represented hospitals were academic facilities in urban areas. I think all of this illuminates the challenges in identifying and creating these processes in the community setting #phmfellowjc
Sonya Tang Girdwood 鄧 智佳, MD, PhD @STangGirdwood
#PHMFellowJC T2: I'd think that if you are part of a hospital-w/in-hospital and have interaction w/ adult colleagues, #transition would occur earlier. Allowing patients to meet future doctors would be so much easier. Outside of #medpeds colleagues, I don't know adults docs.
Kate Kyler, MD @kedkyler
@AJenkins_MD Super interesting and important questions could be answered! One of the other hospitalists in our group (one of our med-peds colleagues) is working on some transition of care stuff. I'll have to chat with him about this! #PHMFellowJC
Sonya Tang Girdwood 鄧 智佳, MD, PhD @STangGirdwood
#PHMFellowJC T2: I wonder how much clinical time you have (like 100% clinical vs. someone who has a lot of admin time) would change your perception about #transition practices. As I'm currently only 25% clinical, I wonder if I think about certain clinical issues less often.
Dr. Jennifer Chen, MD FAAP 林 明 堯 @DrJenChen4kids
@freckledpedidoc @jmomdphd @AJenkins_MD I feel like adult size becomes a patient safety issue even before age sometimes (e.g. if you have a 300lb teenager admitted for something) #PHMfellowJC
John @jmomdphd
@DrJenChen4kids T2: I agree @DrJenChen4kids. We likely don’t think of it as much as we should at our free-standing hospital. I wonder if having an adult present would encourage us to start the process earlier #PHMFellowJC
#PHMFellowJC @PHMFellowJC

Jacqueline Walker @jackiewalkermd
@PHMFellowJC T2. I wonder if people at free-standing children’s hospitals may be inclined to follow chronic complex kids longer/until older ages? May have known the patients forever and feel comfortable with their management so less rush to transition? #PHMFellowJC

Kate Kyler, MD @kedkyler
@jmomdphd @DrJenChen4kids I feel like the transition conversations are usually driven by the main subspecialists managing the care of these medically complex teens at our institution. Peds HM and inpt providers should def be part of the conversation, though! #PHMFellowJC

@AJenkins_MD @jmomdphd @freckledpedidoc It's tricky: CCS (which covers many complex kids) stops at 21 and the insurance they get after that is variable. That said, we've definitely "kept" adult-age patients because that's what was better for the patient #PHMfellowJC

@AJenkins_MD @jmomdphd @freckledpedidoc Often it's complex kids who have been followed by our specialists for years, and there's no one on the adult side taking over (yet).

Sonya Tang Girdwood 鄧 智佳, MD, PhD @STangGirdwood
#PHMFellowJC T3: a major barrier is not knowing when it is appropriate to #transition (@AJenkins_MD). For example, a 30 kg 30 y/o might be better served in a children's hospital because we manage patients of that size more frequently than the adult world - i.e. mg/kg dosing.

Ashley Jenkins @AJenkins_MD
@ALifeInParadox @STangGirdwood During critical illness bring up change can be hard. I struggle so much with the when and how to bring up any component of transition when someone is in the hospital when there are years of provider relationships at the institution. #PHMFellowJC
Salty AF 🫁♻️ @saltylungs
@kedkyler @DrJenChen4kids @jackiewalkermd @PHMFellowJC Good question. I have CF and that was 13 years ago that I transitioned so my hospital was still trying to sort out how to do it. It was hard going from a very supportive peds clinic team that I trusted to a new adult clinic w/diff protocols and such. #PHMFellowJC
Dr. Jennifer Chen, MD FAAP 林 明 堯 @DrJenChen4kids
@DivergentTash Adult #EM vs #PedsEM too! In residency we had a lot of patients who had already transitioned to adult care but would still come back to our ER because they knew they would get seen and treated more quickly (eg for something like sickle cell crisis) #PHMFellowJC
#PHMFellowJC @PHMFellowJC
@ALifeInParadox @STangGirdwood @AJenkins_MD Thanks for joining and providing a #PedsICU perspective! #PHMFellowJC
Ashley Jenkins @AJenkins_MD
@DivergentTash 100% agree with this! I also think there are various perceptions, both positive and negative, that exist of the 'other side'. #PHMFellowJC
Kate Kyler, MD @kedkyler
T4: Maybe # of patients with certain disease processes known to stay longer in pediatrics despite having adult docs ready to care for them? #PHMFellowJC
Anika Kumar, MD (she/her) @freckledpedidoc
@PHMFellowJC T4. Many of the sub-specialists at the institutions I’ve worked at have identified disease-specific QI metrics for their own populations (patients with Sickle Cell, T1DM, CF). None of those metrics have been standardized across the respective institutions #PHMfellowJC
Rebecca Steuart, MD @RebeccaSteuart
@AJenkins_MD @DivergentTash @PHMFellowJC I like this idea to choose one to start - I bet in some multi-subspecialist patient scenarios that getting the first step along the path underway makes things easier for the patient, family, and providers. But which subspecialist to recommend to transition first? #PHMFellowJC
Kate Kyler, MD @kedkyler
@DrJenChen4kids @DivergentTash Same. #PHMFellowJC
John @jmomdphd
T3: Have you ever had families (or providers) claim that the adult provider will be less accessible or less accommodating than pediatric subspecialists? #PHMFellowJC
#PHMFellowJC @PHMFellowJC
@Potato_Chip @DrJenChen4kids @jackiewalkermd Hi Chippy! Thanks for joining us and providing #patient perspective! #PHMFellowJC
Med Peds Hospitalist @medpedshosp
@AJenkins_MD @Bmayzing And transition champions need to be a full time position #PHMFellowJC
#PHMFellowJC @PHMFellowJC
RT @medpedshosp: @PHMFellowJC T3(b) A barrier can be the cultural elements in the hospital. And the lack of expertise among the adult specialists to manage specific diseases (e.g. mitochondrial dz - our institutional experts are actually Peds Neuro guys). #PHMFellowJC
Dr. Jennifer Chen, MD FAAP 林 明 堯 @DrJenChen4kids
@AJenkins_MD @jmomdphd @PHMFellowJC @BostonChildrens @DrKittyMD Great point Ashley - maybe also helping families start medical/legal process of conservatorship for patients with developmental delay that will never be able to make their own healthcare decisions #PHMfellowJC
Sonya Tang Girdwood 鄧 智佳, MD, PhD @STangGirdwood
#PHMFellowJC T4: #readmissions is definitely a "hot" measure used to track improvement efforts of inpatient care. I guess seeing if the patient comes back to children's hospital ER after official #transition (only works for #freestanding hospitals).
Anika Kumar, MD (she/her) @freckledpedidoc
@PHMFellowJC The hidden curriculum creeps into all conversations #PHMfellowJC
Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine
RT @PHMFellowJC: Welcome to the first #PHMFellowJC of 2019. We will be discussing Coller et al's @JHospMedicine article on a national survey about transition practices from pediatric to adult inpatient care. Objectives and Discussion questions below. We will be starting shortly! https://t.co/aytl45WZDO
Ashley Jenkins @AJenkins_MD
@TMarshall_MD @herchd Once when I was working on our adult care consult service @CincyPHM after talking with a family for about 30 minutes they said, "Oh, you're not trying to kick us out?". Was a key reminder of how even the discussion of #transition for most can be challenging. #PHMFellowJC
#PHMFellowJC @PHMFellowJC
RT @AJenkins_MD: @DivergentTash @PHMFellowJC Sometimes at hospital discharge all it takes is suggesting one subspecialist to follow up with on the adult side that helps start the process. #PHMFellowJC #T3
Atashi Mandal @DivergentTash
@RebeccaSteuart @AJenkins_MD @PHMFellowJC I think the subspecialist most relevant to either 1) the acute problem or 2) the major underlying chronic issue or both, would be good places to start #phmfellowjc
Laura Lawler, MD @DocLauraLawler
@PHMFellowJC T4-In our community🏥 setting, when a complex, young adult is admitting to community🏥 for 1st time(s), peds & med-peds hospitalists have sometimes help coordinate introduction to adults specialists, coordinate transition to adult PCP, & help w/ social/psych needs. #PHMFellowJC
#PHMFellowJC @PHMFellowJC
RT @jackiewalkermd: @PHMFellowJC T4. If a firm plan is established for transition to adult care, I would want to know if the pt ever returned to peds providers/hospitals and why. (What went wrong?) #PHMFellowJC
Kate Kyler, MD @kedkyler
@maxabillioncruz @DivergentTash @AJenkins_MD @PHMFellowJC Yes, like how pregnant women tour the hospital they will deliver in before the date. Just that small amount of familiarity would do wonders to allay stress on the first admission #PHMFellowJC
Salty AF 🫁♻️ @saltylungs
@kedkyler @DrJenChen4kids @jackiewalkermd @PHMFellowJC Also, very diff experience w/hospitalization for tune ups in adult vs peds. My center now starts transitioning CFers by preparing and educating starting around 10yo I believe (formally transition 18-20) and that seems to be really successful from feedback I've heard. #PHMFellowJC
#PHMFellowJC @PHMFellowJC

Ashley Jenkins @AJenkins_MD
@maxabillioncruz @DivergentTash @PHMFellowJC There is actually good evidence in the literature to support doing hospital tours, provider introductions BEFORE transfer, etc. The reasons why this doesn’t then happen during #transition and before transfer are less clear. #PHMFellowJC
Dr. Jennifer Chen, MD FAAP 林 明 堯 @DrJenChen4kids
T4: Considering we often have trouble even confirming correct pediatric PCP, getting patients a first appt with adult PCP or specialist would be huge. Maybe documenting a "future care plan" w appropriate adult hospital for pt to go to in future? #PHMFellowJC
Atashi Mandal @DivergentTash
@jmomdphd Not so much worried about accessibility but rather the lack of awareness and/or sensitivity to the patient’s history and trajectory over the years #PHMFellowJC
Ashley Jenkins @AJenkins_MD
Especially in considering #transition from a free-standing children’s hospital to another healthcare system, how might you suggest tracking as Coller et al suggest for ‘less inconsistency’ or back-and-forth between peds and adult inpatient care? #PHMFellowJC #T4
#PHMFellowJC @PHMFellowJC
Thanks to all those who participated in tonight's #PHMFellowJC discussion on the #transition practices from pediatric to adult care. What last thoughts do you have? Anything you learned that you could implement?
Kate Kyler, MD @kedkyler
@DivergentTash @RebeccaSteuart @AJenkins_MD @PHMFellowJC We have a primary care clinic that specializes in caring for kids with medical complexity... I wonder how they handle the transition? @jackiewalkermd @MikePlattMD @JoySolano6 #PHMFellowJC
Laura Lawler, MD @DocLauraLawler
@PHMFellowJC T4- From a barrier standpoint, this type of work would seem much more difficulty w/o med-peds hospitalists colleagues that know both sides of the inpatient transition, though certainly there are other ways to accomplish same type of work. #PHMFellowJC
John @jmomdphd

Dr. Jennifer Chen, MD FAAP 林 明 堯 @DrJenChen4kids
@medpedshosp @AJenkins_MD @Bmayzing I think there's a role here for #familymed too since they also see patients across the spectrum, but many of them are not as comfortable with complex patients or inpatient care since they have more limited training w those #PHMfellowJC

Kate Kyler, MD @kedkyler
T4: Another metric that would be interesting is the time from the first mention of transition to the ultimate hand-off to the adult side. As in no more peds clinic, ER, or inpatient stays. How long do you all think that is? Years, right? #PHMFellowJC

@PHMFellowJC Some adult institutions are starting to open hospitalist run clinics for patients recently discharged. Could this be a potential venue to really dig into the transition conversation?? #PHMFellowJC
Atashi Mandal @DivergentTash
@PHMFellowJC An understated barrier that I keep encountering is the utter lack of interest that my adult and peds colleagues exhibit in learning about each other, or even talking to each other. :-( #PHMFellowJC

Ashley Jenkins @AJenkins_MD
@freckledpedidoc @PHMFellowJC I wonder too how patient, families, and providers feel when other divisions use different metrics or have different policies? How can we create some standard #transition work that should also be highly dependent on an individual’s needs? #PHMFellowJC #T4

Atashi Mandal @DivergentTash
Yes! A post discharge clinic would be a great venue to discuss transitions in a calmer and less pressured setting #PHMFellowJC
Ashley Jenkins @AJenkins_MD
Creating systems that can help track outcomes over time as #AYA #transition will be key. But how do we do this effectively when #transition often involves moving between healthcare systems and changing insurance? #PHMFellowJC #T4
Atashi Mandal @DivergentTash
Thank you Ashley- great discussion! #PHMFellowJC
Salty AF 🫁♻️ @saltylungs
@AJenkins_MD @DrJenChen4kids @jackiewalkermd @PHMFellowJC I think meeting the providers before officially transitioning would have been helpful. Additionally, I could have been more prepared for the responsibility of switching to adult (less oversight, more responsibility on me to monitor meds/etc) #PHMFellowJC

@PHMFellowJC T4-Family is always important part of transition. Young adults w/ complex needs & their families are often fearful of transition. (We all get scared of the unknown. Right?) Luxury of the time of the 🏥stay can help ⬇️ fear-or ⬆️ fear. Peds trained staff can help. #PHMFellowJC

@DivergentTash @PHMFellowJC One question I didn't get to ask was if anyone has had success in engaging internists in #transition work without #medpeds to help bridge the gap?
