Abstract
Telemedicine is increasingly used in multiple clinical settings. However, few institutions have utilized telemedicine as a tool for transitioning adolescents and young adults (AYA) from pediatric to adult providers. In order to improve transition preparation and streamline hand-offs between pediatric and adult neurologists, we developed and piloted a telemedicine program to transition AYA with epilepsy, enabling the patient/family, pediatric neurology provider, and adult neurology provider to meet virtually for a transition sign-out. We tested the feasibility and acceptability of using telemedicine for this purpose.
