Health Care Transitions

What Health Care Transitions does

Health Care Transitions, operating as Got Transition®, is a programme of The National Alliance to Advance Adolescent Health, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered in Washington, DC. Founded in 2014 and staffed by 16 people, it serves as the federally designated national resource center on health care transition (HCT), producing the trademarked Six Core Elements of Health Care Transition™ 3.0 — an evidence-based framework endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians, and American College of Physicians that provides customisable tools, implementation guides, measurement instruments, and coding/payment resources for transitioning youth from pediatric to adult health care.

The organisation generates revenue through three streams: (1) federal government grants, principally a 5-year $1.5M MCHB/HRSA cooperative agreement supporting the National Center Consortium, plus Administration for Community Living funding; (2) foundation grants from the WITH Foundation, Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health, and others; and (3) consulting services delivered under contracts, retainers, or grants to federal/state agencies, health systems, Medicaid agencies, managed care plans, and disability organisations. All core tools and resources are distributed free of charge through gottransition.org to maximise adoption, with no commercial products sold.

Its go-to-market is hybrid: enterprise consulting to state Title V agencies, Medicaid agencies, and health systems, alongside direct-to-consumer awareness campaigns aimed at youth, young adults, and parents/caregivers via downloadable resources, quizzes, and newsletters. The customer base spans clinicians (pediatric, family medicine, med-peds, internal medicine), state Title V programs in all 50 states, Medicaid agencies and managed care organizations, health systems, and youth/families — with particular specialisation in CYSHCN and ID/DD populations.
