At the hydrocephalus clinic in an academic institution in the Pacific Northwest, caregivers and patients are informed along the healthcare continuum that patients are followed in the pediatric neurosurgery clinic until they are 18 years old, at which time they are expected to transition to adult neurosurgery care; however, readiness to transition care has not been formally assessed. The aim of the quality improvement project was to formally assess transition readiness in 14-18-year-old patients seen during routine hydrocephalus clinic visits in January and February of 2023.}, number = {ETD}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/2r36tz35r}, recid = {10133}, address = {2023}, }
