Transition Snapshot (For Clinicians)
(Keep concise to fit on approximately one screen. Each metric must include date and source.)

- (Include 2–5 items as applicable; omit subsection if none.)
Headline Outcomes (baseline → current):
- [Metric]: [Baseline value] ([Date]; [Source]) → [Current value] ([Date]; [Source])
- (Include 2–4 key metrics most relevant to program goals.)
Current Risks Needing Surveillance:
- [Risk factor or concern requiring monitoring]
Follow-up: [Named clinician/team] — [Recommended cadence/timeframe]
Pending Items:
- [Pending test/referral/result] — [Expected timing] — [Who follows up]
- (Include only if items are truly pending; otherwise omit subsection.)
Program Overview
[Referral reason; participant priorities; domains addressed; scope of program vs. what remained with longitudinal clinicians] (One concise paragraph.)
Baseline Risk Profile
(Include dates and sources for all metrics. If critical data are missing and affect safety/interpretation, document "Not assessed" with reason and recommendation.)
Baseline period: [Date or date range]
Cardiometabolic markers:
- Weight/BMI: [Value] ([Date]; [Source]; [Method])
- Blood pressure: [Systolic/Diastolic mmHg] ([Date]; [Source]; [Method/posture])
- Key labs (if in scope): [Lab name: value] ([Date]; [Source])
Lifestyle indicators: (Participant-reported unless stated otherwise.)
- Nutrition pattern: [Brief baseline summary]
- Physical activity: [Baseline frequency/duration/intensity]
- Sleep: [Baseline duration/quality]
- Tobacco/alcohol (if addressed): [Baseline use]
- Stress/coping: [Baseline stressors and strategies]
- (Include only domains relevant to this participant.)
Functional/social factors affecting feasibility: [Relevant limitations or constraints] (Include only if assessed and relevant; otherwise omit.)
Goals and Outcomes
(Present goals with outcomes. Include date and source for all values.)
- [Goal 1 — Domain]:
- Participant goal: [Goal statement]
- Baseline: [Value] ([Date]; [Source]) → Current: [Value] ([Date]; [Source])
- Delta: [Change]; Status: [Achieved / Partially achieved / Not achieved / Deferred / Unable to assess]
- [Goal 2 — Domain]:
- Participant goal: [Goal statement]
- Baseline: [Value] ([Date]; [Source]) → Current: [Value] ([Date]; [Source])
- Delta: [Change]; Status: [Achieved / Partially achieved / Not achieved / Deferred / Unable to assess]
- (Add additional goals as relevant.)
Interpretation: [Brief narrative linking changes to specific metrics or milestones; label patient-reported data; note confounders or concurrent changes; sustainability considerations and remaining gaps] (3–6 sentences.)
Current Status at Discharge
(Include this section when clinical monitoring occurred during the program; otherwise omit or keep minimal with subjective only.)
Subjective: [Current symptoms relevant to program risks, self-efficacy, perceived barriers]
Objective: [Current vitals/anthropometrics and key labs with dates and sources] (Include only if program collected clinical data.)
Safety Concerns: [Active safety issues and recommended escalation steps] (Include only if applicable.)
Ongoing Action Plan
(Organize by domain. Use behaviorally specific language with frequency/duration/intensity. For each domain, include: specific plan, tracking method, key barrier with if–then mitigation strategy, supports/resources, and measurable checkpoint with responsible party. Include only domains relevant to this participant.)
- Nutrition:
- Plan: [Specific plan with when–where–how]
- Tracking: [App/log/device]; Barrier + Mitigation: [Barrier] → [If–then strategy]
- Supports: [Persons, resources]; Checkpoint: [Metric, timeframe, reviewer]
- Physical Activity:
- Plan: [Aerobic/strength/flexibility specifics with frequency, intensity, time, type]
- Tracking: [App/log/device]; Barrier + Mitigation: [Barrier] → [If–then strategy]
- Supports: [Persons, facilities]; Checkpoint: [Metric, timeframe, reviewer]
- Sleep:
- Plan: [Schedule, routine, environment modifications]
- Tracking: [Sleep log/device]; Barrier + Mitigation: [Barrier] → [If–then strategy]
- Supports: [Resources]; Checkpoint: [Metric, timeframe, reviewer]
- Stress Management:
- Plan: [Technique(s), frequency, context of use]
- Tracking: [Practice log/app]; Barrier + Mitigation: [Barrier] → [If–then strategy]
- Supports: [Groups, counseling]; Checkpoint: [Metric, timeframe, reviewer]
- Tobacco/Alcohol (if addressed):
- Plan: [Abstinence/reduction goals; pharmacotherapy coordination if applicable]
- Tracking: [Daily log/app]; Barrier + Mitigation: [Trigger] → [Coping strategy]
- Supports: [Support persons, groups, quitline]; Checkpoint: [Metric, timeframe, reviewer]
- Self-Monitoring:
- Plan: [What to track and frequency]; Device/Method: [Device/app]
