Patient Priorities Care Phase III: Dissemination and Sustainability
Grant Summary
This grant will support further dissemination of Patient Priorities Care, an approach that helps older patients and clinicians focus all health care decision-making on what matters to older adults based on their own health priorities. Pilot findings have shown the approach reduces medications and unnecessary diagnostic testing and increases appreciation by patients and clinicians for attention to goals, reduced care burden, and improved quality of life. Grant funding will help expand the number of health professionals trained in the approach, integrate it into health care professionals training curricula, and embed it as a key component for addressing “what Matters” in the Age-Friendly Health Systems 4Ms framework (what Matters, Medication, Mentation and Mobility). Funding will also support adapting and disseminating the approach to underserved populations and those living with dementia.
