Position Paper

The Society, in collaboration with the Association of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Nurses (APHON), in 2022 updated APHON and ASPHO Position Paper on the Transition of Patients with Sickle Cell Disease from Pediatric to Adult Health Care. Transition in health care involves the process of changing from a pediatric-focused to an adult-focused model of care, whether with or without transfer of the patient from a pediatric care provider to an adult care provider, and this is especially important for patients who have sickle cell disease (SCD).
