A Novel Receivership Model for Transition of Young Adults With Diabetes: Experience From a Single-center Academic Transition Program
Authors' conclusion
We successfully established and maintained a young adult diabetes transition program using a quality improvement approach. Future work will focus on reducing care gaps at the time of transfer, assessing long-term retention rates, and enhancing care coordination for patients referred from outside the health network.
