Optimizing 4Ms Implementation and Evaluation in Convenient and Primary Care
Grant Summary
This grant will accelerate adoption of the Age-Friendly Health Systems 4Ms Framework in convenient care clinics and primary care settings and serve as the model for nationwide spread of age-friendly primary care. Case Western Reserve University’s Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing and CVS Health have implemented delivery of care to older adults using the evidence-based 4Ms set—What Matters, Medication, Mentation and Mobility—across more than 800 MinuteClinic sites. The next phase will continue to increase reliable delivery of care based on the 4Ms in CVS convenient and primary care sites, measure outcomes to demonstrate value-based impact, and convene a National Primary Care Learning Network to evaluate and disseminate 4Ms implementation strategies in primary care beyond CVS Health. The project will form a collaboration with CVS’ network of primary care practices for older adults, Oak Street Health, the Department of Veterans Affairs and Dartmouth Health. CVS Health provides funding for leadership, analytics, clinician development and electronic health record engineering.
