Abstract
Global efforts are underway to develop, implement and test health care transition (HCT) models of care. Most studies have focused on the transfer of care models. In contrast, the nurse-led interdisciplinary HCT model, Movin' On Up, provides comprehensive HCT services beginning in early adolescence. A retrospective analysis was conducted of data extracted from HCT records of 146 adolescents and emerging adults with spina bifida (with a mean age of 13.91 years) who were provided services in the Movin' On Up HCT program. Data were categorized based on the Health Care Transition Research Consortium HCT model and the Omaha System framework and as to type of direct HCT services provided by the HCT Specialist and nurse-led interdisciplinary team conferences conducted. Findings revealed that the scope of services provided represented the scope of comprehensive needs beyond those associated with the transfer of care.
