Over 400+ research and foundational articles have been reviewed to support the development of the ON TRAC model and tools.

The Canadian Pediatric Society has recognized that transition is a component of high-quality care. All stakeholders (youth, families, and pediatric, adult and community providers) face significant challenges with the preparation, transfer and continued management of this vulnerable population.

A background document (2011) (PDF) highlighted transition as a significant concern to youth with CHC/Ds, impacted by many issues at the personal, clinical, and systems levels in BC. Many organizations, including the Doctors of BC (PDF), share this concern and are working to streamline care processes to improve health transitions for youth.
