Transition to Adult Care — Outpatient Specialty Care and Primary Care

Consider Adult Care and Transition Team (ACTT) Consult

ACTT is a consultative service at CHOP that assists in the coordination of transition-related care across primary care and different specialties. For patients who are 18 or older and routinely see two or more specialists and/or have an intellectual disability, a consult to Adult Care and Transition Team (ACTT) should be considered. Identifying providers, creating a comprehensive transition summary, and ensuring that insurance, legal decision-making support, and psychosocial challenges are addressed can be especially difficult for complex patients. ACTT consults can also be requested for patients ≥ 18 years old who are admitted inpatient.
