Abstract
This chapter describes steps taken to introduce and promote the use of an electronic medical record-based transition planning tool (TPT) at a large children’s hospital as a method to improve AYASHCN knowledge and skills to facilitate successful HCT. A description of the Texas Children’s Hospital TPT is presented first, followed by quality improvement methods used to promote its use, summary data on TPT use, and then four vignettes of clinics that piloted the process of implementing the TPT as part of a quality improvement study, before the TPT became available system-wide.
