Just TRAC It! Transitioning Responsibly to Adult Care Using Smart Phone Technology

The cardiology nurse (RN) will have an hour long one-on-one teaching session prior to their pediatric cardiology clinic visit. The RN will go over the youth's cardiac history including the chronic heart disease diagnoses, names and dates of cardiac surgical procedures and cardiac catheterizations, and current cardiac medications and doses. She will also discuss transitioning from pediatric to adult care and healthy lifestyle choices.

Just TRAC It! (Transitioning Responsibly to Adult Care) is a mobile health intervention that encourages youth to use existing functions on their personal phones to track their health information. The use of Just TRAC It! allows youth to electronically document all medical information that would previously be printed on their MyHealth Passport, but may offer additional functionality in terms of learning to manage their health.

"MyHealth Passport is a customized, wallet-size card that includes the youth's important medical information. The RN will help the youth create a MyHealth Passport online, and print out the card for them.~The same educational intervention will be completed by cardiology nurse using a MyHealth Passport to track their medical information instead of the electronic Just TRAC It!"
