Abstract
The transition process from pediatric to adult rheumatological and internistic care is achallenge for patients and medical personnel. Every second patient with apediatric rheumatic disease has not achieved stable drug-free remission at early adulthood and therefore requires continuing rheumatological care. Approximately one third of young people with rheumatic diseases in Germany discontinue regular specialist care on their way to the adult healthcare setting. Newly developed support services and tools to improve the healthcare of young people with rheumatic diseases in Germany are presented.
