Hospital at Home Users Group Webinar: Age-Friendly Beyond the Hospital - Innovation in Hospital at Home
Hospital at Home Users Group, in partnership with the American Academy of Home Care Medicine, is holding a webinar April 11 on, "Age-Friendly Beyond the Hospital: Innovation in Hospital at Home."
Age-Friendly Health Systems is an initiative to improve the quality and effectiveness of care of older adults across practice settings by employing an evidence-based, person-centered framework known as the 4Ms framework: What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility.
Age-friendly health care principles have been integrated into many care settings, but there is no established playbook for Hospital at Home (HaH) programs. While the HaH model inherently addresses key principles of age-friendly care, there is room to incorporate even more of these ideas in practice—and a number of HaH programs are developing innovative approaches.
Webinar speakers will discuss the basics of age-friendly health care and the 4Ms framework, the preliminary research about the 4Ms in HaH, and how programs are adapting and implementing the 4Ms model in practice.
Speakers include:
- Moderator: Bruce Leff, MD, Director, Center for Transformative Geriatric Research; Professor of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
- Michael Lee, MD, MS, FACEP, Medical Director, Kent Hospital at Home
- Aaron Nepaul, MD, Geriatric Medicine Physician, ACE and Kent Hospital at Home, Kent Hospital
