Altarum Report: AAA/D-SNP Care Coordination and Integration Using the Age Friendly Health Systems’ 4Ms Framework
Altarum has released a report, "AAA/D-SNP Care Coordination and Integration Using the Age Friendly Health Systems’ 4Ms Framework."
This report outlines research conducted by Altarum and Altarum Medicare-Medicaid Services for States (AMMS) regarding the efforts that Indiana FSSA has undertaken and similar work that is occurring in other states, such as Ohio. The researchers investigated the integration of the 4Ms Framework of Age-Friendly Health Systems into evolving models for Medicaid managed long-term services and supports (MLTSS) and Medicare-Medicaid integrated programs, specifically via payers—health plans and managed care organizations.
Findings from interviews with key leaders lay out specific aspects of successful approaches to this integration and potential for replication and scalability in other states. The recommendations for future efforts will inform strategies to broaden the potential impact of the 4Ms Framework to improve care of older adults.
JAHF funded the report.
