Video: Introducing The 4Ms Framework for an Age-Friendly Health System
Rush University’s Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP) has released the first in a series of videos exploring the basics of the Age-Friendly Health Systems movement and the "4Ms": what matters, medication, mentation, and mobility.
This video talks about how older adults can receive quality care based on what matters to them and how this reliable care can be delivered consistently across every care setting.
An Age-Friendly Health System (AFHS) is one in which every older adult gets the best care possible, experiences no health care-related harms, and is satisfied with the care they receive.
The initiative is led by The John A. Hartford Foundation (JAHF) and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), in partnership with the American Hospital Association (AHA) and the Catholic Health Association of the United States (CHA).
