Age-Friendly Health Systems Research Network: Join the 2026 Monthly Webinars
The next Age-Friendly Health Systems (AFHS) Research Network webinar will be held on October 30 on the topic "AFHS Recognition & Improved Clinical Outcome Measures." Mara Rosenberg will review existing literature on the clinical outcomes of AFHS recognition, including both GEDA and IHI recognition, present new findings from Medicare Claims data, and explore remaining gaps and opportunities for ongoing research in this area.

The AFHS Research Network was launched by a team at the University of California, San Francisco, to support collaboration, networking and resource sharing among the AFHS research community. The network aims to advance the evidence base for Age-Friendly Health Systems and the 4Ms and is guided in part by a council of leaders with broad representation across health care settings and disciplines.
The network is open to all researchers interested in or currently working in the AFHS space. Network activities include a monthly webinar, newsletter and opportunities to network and share resources. Members have opportunities to present and receive feedback on ideas for AFHS research or measurement work, share tools and resources such as funding opportunities, learn about emerging topics, and identify potential collaborators, mentors and career development opportunities
