Institute for Healthcare Improvement Age-Friendly Healthcare Package: Issue Briefs and Case Study
The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) has released three publications - two issue briefs and a case study - as part of their Age-Friendly Health Care Package.
IHI is developing the Age-Friendly Health Care Package for inclusion in state Master Plans for Aging that presents the implementation, measurement and business case for statewide adoption of programs from three initiatives:
- Age-Friendly Health Systems
- Geriatric Surgery Verification program
- Geriatric Emergency Department Collaborative/Geriatric Emergency Department Accreditation.
The three new Age-Friendly Health Care Package publications are:
- Issue Brief | Advancing the Multisector Plan for Aging: Age-Friendly Health Care Package
- Issue Brief | Better Care for Older Adults across the Hospital: Age-Friendly Health Care Package
- Case Study: Hospital | CHI Memorial: Age-Friendly Health Care Package
The publications are part of IHI's Age-Friendly Health Systems initiative's resources and can be found under "issue briefs" and under "case studies: hospital" in the initiative's resource page.
