Grant Summary
- Developing Age-Friendly Health Systems Leadership
- Transforming HRET’s Hospital Network to Become More Age-Friendly
This project aims to improve the care of older adults by developing Age-Friendly Health Systems leaders and hospitals. The American Hospital Association’s (AHA) Health Research & Education Trust (HRET) will support 30 leaders over three years in an Age-Friendly Health Systems track within AHA’s leadership development program and provide Age-Friendly Health Systems content to participants across all tracks. The grant will also leverage the organization’s existing network of 1,638 hospitals to run an Age-Friendly Health Systems “action community” with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. Hospitals participating in the nine-month action community will receive coaching to implement evidence-based practices based on the essential elements of Age-Friendly Health Systems—what Matters, Medication, Mentation and Mobility.
