JAGS Paper: Awareness and Implementation of the Age-Friendly 4Ms Framework - A Needs Assessment Survey
The Journal of the American Geriatrics Society (JAGS) has published a paper, "Awareness and Implementation of the Age-Friendly 4Ms Framework: A Needs Assessment Survey."
The paper analyzes a needs assessment survey, distributed to American Society of Consultant Pharmacists (ASCP) members to evaluate their familiarity with the Age-Friendly Health Systems 4Ms framework and comfort assessing and acting on the 4Ms. Pharmacists are well-positioned to champion the 4Ms within collaborative, interprofessional care teams, yet, little is known about pharmacists' awareness of and comfort with the 4Ms.
The survey included 38 items across three sections: participant characteristics, familiarity with the Age-Friendly Health Systems (AFHS) initiative, and comfort with the AFHS 4Ms.
