Age-Friendly Health Systems Movement – Phase 3: Embedding, Deepening and Sustaining 4Ms Care in Health Care Systems

Grant Summary

To ensure that care of older adults is age-friendly and chart a sustainable future for the Age-Friendly Health Systems movement, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement will deepen the adoption of age-friendly care and the 4Ms framework within health systems and broaden the movement by engaging more sites of care. The grant will also support embedding age-friendly care in state and federal regulations, payment mechanisms, and policies, while building new revenue-generating services to sustain the movement beyond this funding period.
