The Hardest Shift: From Pediatric to Adult Hemophilia Care

A young man walks into a hemophilia treatment center. He’s limping, certain his ankle is bleeding again—same as always. But this time, the team discovers the pain may be coming from something else, something that isn’t in the patient’s chart. In this story, we explore the many ways and forms pain can present, and the importance of treating the whole person.

Transitioning hemophilia care from pediatric to adult care sounds simple enough. At home, though, it can be complicated—habits run deep, and for parents of children with hemophilia, the line between protection and independence isn’t always clear. In this episode, we’ll explore how hemophilia treatment centers put transition care into practice to help teens and young adults with bleeding disorders navigate taking ownership of their treatment and their first steps toward independence.

A young boy goes to urgent care, he’s fallen and his knee is swollen – likely a soft tissue trauma or at worst a minor joint bleed. He’s given a brace, told to rest. At follow up, everything is as expected – until a nurse reviews his chart and sees the child has hemophilia. We’re no longer talking about a minor joint bleed, we’re talking about a joint bleed, that, if left untreated, could lead to permanent damage.

A young man calls his doctor – he has hemophilia and joint pain – he knows what this is, he’s had it before: it’s a knee bleed. He’s given himself three doses of blood clotting factor, but it’s not working. When he arrives at the hemophilia treatment center, his care team takes a closer look – and what they find will change everything.

If you work in healthcare, you’ve felt it—that moment when communication breaks down. This season on DDx, we’re going inside hemophilia treatment centers—places where teamwork isn’t optional. It’s what holds everything together. You’ll hear stories from the people who do this work every day—how collaboration really works, what it looks like in real time, and how filling gaps in communication helps ensure patients get the care they deserve. Coming soon, season 12 of DDx.

Join us as we sit down with Colorado-based allergist and immunologist Dr. Robert McDermott, who has seen first-hand what an AI-powered solution can do for care providers at facilities of all scales. Dr. McDermott offers his unique perspective as someone who has integrated DAX Copilot as a documentation assistant at both a small clinic as well as a hospital. He delves into why and how, at each scale, he has seen the investment pay off for the providers, patients, and facility alike. For Dr. McDermott, the ability to give physicians on his staff hours of their day back, on top of the ease of integrating the new-age technology, swiftly quashed any early skepticism regarding his investment.
