- Abstract
The authors reflect on the use of the international classification of functioning, disability and health as a framework for transition from pediatric to adult health care. They suggest that as a result of advances in medicine and medical technology the number of adolescents with chronic diseases that are surviving into adulthood is increasing. They argue that clinicians, educators and medical professionals need to incorporate the international classification of functioning framework into transitional care.
