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. 000010133 650__ $$aTransition to Adult Care$$039721 000010133 650__ $$aTransitional Care$$011384 000010133 650__ $$aAdult$$014319 000010133 650__ $$aHydrocephalus$$020421 000010133 650__ $$aAdolescent$$014285 000010133 650__ $$aChild$$016462 000010133 6531_ $$ahydrocephalus association 000010133 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000010133 7001_ $$aDomreis, Wendy 000010133 7001_ $$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000010133 8564_ $$91689dbcf-7aab-4d7a-b4c4-d968ea9b9c2b$$s1570060$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/10133/files/Domreis.Wendy.2023.pdf 000010133 905__ $$a/rest/prod/2r/36/tz/35/2r36tz35r 000010133 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:10133$$pstudent-work 000010133 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
