IHI Press Release: Age-Friendly Health Systems Movement Exceeds Scale and Impact Goals to Improve Care for Older Adults
The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) has issued a press release about the success and spread of the Age Friendly Health Systems movement.
IHI announced that more than 2,700 care locations have been recognized as Age-Friendly Health Systems Participants, surpassing the movement’s goal 18-months ahead of schedule. More than 1.4 million older adults have received age-friendly care thanks to the Age-Friendly Health Systems movement since 2018. In addition to achieving this milestone, leaders from the movement have published a new book to share insights with the field, and the group is actively recruiting health systems and practices for the next Action Community starting in March 2022.
“We celebrate this milestone with tremendous pride and gratitude, as it demonstrates the incredible momentum of organizations that have begun an Age-Friendly Health Systems improvement journey,” said Leslie Pelton, MPA, Vice President, IHI.
