The development of formal transition models emerged to reduce variability in care, including cystic fibrosis (CF) responsibility, independence, self-care, and education (RISE), which provides a standardized transition program, including knowledge assessments, self-management checklists, and milestones for people with CF. Despite these interventions, the current landscape of health care transition (HCT) remains suboptimal, and additional focused attention on HCT is necessary. Standardization of assessment tools to gauge the efficacy of transfer from pediatric to adult care is a high priority.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Eunice M M DeFilippo"

  • - Eunice M M DeFilippo's research primarily focuses on improving the transition of care for patients with cystic fibrosis, emphasizing the importance of standardized models to reduce variability in healthcare delivery.
  • - The study titled "Transitions of Care in Cystic Fibrosis" introduced a structured program—RISE (Responsibility, Independence, Self-care, Education)—which includes knowledge assessments and self-management checklists designed to facilitate a smoother transition from pediatric to adult care.
  • - Despite the implementation of these standardized interventions, the research highlights that the current state of health care transition (HCT) remains inadequate, indicating a pressing need for enhanced strategies and tools to evaluate their effectiveness in practice.
