HANYS AC f86fc21d1b7165fd94fff71e4f27685f

HANYS, the Healthcare Association of New York State, is inviting health systems in New York State to join its next Age-Friendly Action Community that starts January 2022.

The Action Community will connect teams from across the state to accelerate adoption of the Age-Friendly Health Systems 4Ms - What Matters, Medication, Mentation and Mobility framework. Participating teams will work together for approximately nine months to test and adopt the 4Ms framework across their care setting. Facilities participating in the New York State Action Community will benefit from:

  • support from national and state faculty, including quality improvement coaches and experts in Age-Friendly care;
  • technical assistance, including regular team meetings, coaching calls and support to implement and test new interventions;
  • access to a state and national network of Age-Friendly Health Systems and opportunities to share strategies to expedite the implementation of the Action Community goals; and
  • quality improvement knowledge that can be applied beyond the scope of this initiative.

The New York State Action Community will draw on lessons learned during the pandemic and will use this context to guide participating health systems as they improve care for older adults.
