«rHEumatology tRansition for yOung pEople in Switzerland»
About 50% of children with a rheumatological disease need further medical care in adulthood. Hence, these patients will experience a change from the pediatric to the adult healthcare setting. In addition to changing the medical care team, these adolescents need to assume responsibility for managing their illness in daily life, which so far had been done mainly by their parents. Crucial for a successful transition into adult healthcare is a well-planned transition built on an individual, structured management plan. Yet, the Swiss pediatric rheumatology clinics organize this transition process very diversely. There is no plan all clinics generally agree and adhere to.
Thus, the overall objectives and aims of the HEROES study is to develop, implement, and evaluate a transitional care program for adolescents and young adults with a rheumatic disease moving from pediatric to adult settings in Switzerland.
The HEROES study is a collaborative effort involving medical centers all over Switzerland, including Aarau, Basel, Bellinzona/Lugano, Bern (n= 2), Chur, Lausanne, Luzern, Geneva, St. Gallen, Winterthur, Visp and Zürich.
All thirteen paediatric rheumatology centers, along with the adult center they primarily transfer their patients to, will participate in the study.
