Age-Friendly Health Systems Award
Grant Summary
The American Hospital Association (AHA) will increase the visibility of the Age-Friendly Health Systems (AFHS) movement by designing, testing and implementing a prestigious national AFHS awards program that celebrates the innovative leadership of health systems in delivering age-friendly care. Awardees will be selected through a rigorous, hands-on review process by a national selection committee that assesses the unified leadership of boards, executives and frontline teams in implementing the 4Ms across their health systems. AHA has deep experience with national awards and will develop a process that involves clear, credible standards for delivering high-value, age-friendly care across all settings; recognition that reflects both patient outcomes and financial performance; visibility that inspires staff, attracts workforce talent and reinforces community trust; and opportunities for peer-to-peer learning, sharing and national visibility.
