health care transitions

Healthcare transitions refer to the process of moving a patient from one healthcare setting or provider to another, such as from pediatric to adult care or during changes in insurance plans. These transitions aim to ensure continuity of care, so health issues are managed effectively without interruption or confusion. Proper planning and communication are essential to help patients navigate new providers, understand their treatment plans, and maintain their health. Well-managed transitions improve health outcomes, reduce hospital visits, and enhance the overall patient experience.
