Ambulatory Care Continuum Value-Based Care Evaluation, Scale-up, Sustainment and Spread

Grant Summary

This project follows a successful implementation grant in which more than 1,100 MinuteClinics in select CVS pharmacies across the United States achieved Age-Friendly Health Systems Committed to Care Excellence recognition. In this grant, the Case Western Reserve University Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing will continue working with MinuteClinic, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and the University of California, San Francisco to evaluate impact in care of approximately 1.2 million older adults seen annually in the clinics, assess equity in outcomes and analyze the economic impact from a Medicare payer perspective. This phase will also expand age-friendly care to other CVS Health services. CVS Health provides funding for leadership support and clinician professional development.
