Paper: Applying the Age-Friendly Health System Framework to Long-Term Care Settings
The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging has published a paper, "Applying the Age-Friendly Health System Framework to Long-Term Care Settings."
"Recognizing the growing need for geriatric expert health care, a collaborative of The John A. Hartford Foundation, Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), American Hospital Association, and Catholic Health Association of the United States established the Age-Friendly Health System (AFHS) initiative to increase quality, effective person-centered healthcare for older adults."
The paper discusses the 4Ms framework - what matters, mobility, mentation, and medications - and how the 4Ms can be incorporated together to provide age-friendly care in long-term care settings.
