Young Adult Patient and Caregiver Perspectives on Transition Readiness in an Inflammatory Bowel Disease Clinic.

Background: When it comes to readiness to transition to an adult subspecialty clinic, perspectives between patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and their caregivers may differ and influence the ability to successfully transition. Patients with IBD have been shown to suffer from poor transfers of care. There is a need to more efficiently and accurately assess transition readiness to improve the transfer process.
