Strengthening the National Research Infrastructure for Age-Friendly Health Systems Evidence
Grant Summary
The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is leading a national effort to strengthen the evidence base for Age-Friendly Health Systems (AFHS). Building on a prior grant that established an AFHS Research Council and national Research Network with more than 700 members, this three-year project will strengthen the AFHS research community, build shared data and measurement infrastructure, and identify consensus-based measures for the AFHS movement. The project will generate policy-relevant evidence aligned with federal priorities, including the CMS Age Friendly Hospital Measure and Veterans Health Administration implementation. The project will also produce actionable, high-quality evidence that health systems can use to improve care for older adults.
