Urban Institute Case Study: Creating Age-Friendly Health Systems - The Role of The John A. Hartford Foundation and Lessons for Issue-Based Movements
The Urban Institute has published a case study on, "Creating Age-Friendly Health Systems: The Role of The John A. Hartford Foundation and Lessons for Issue-Based Movements."
The case study essay about the Age-Friendly Health Systems (AFHS) initiative and the role of The John A. Hartford Foundation (JAHF) is co-authored by Urban Institute fellow Faith Mitchell, JAHF president Terry Fulmer, PhD, RN, FAAN, and Institute for Healthcare Improvement president and chief executive officer Kedar Mate, MD.
The AFHS initiative is designed to use large-scale approaches to help health systems change how health care is delivered, operationalize the essential elements of good care, and better integrate community-based supports and services within the health system and across the continuum of care.
The authors review the history and focuses of AFHS and identify seven key factors that have contributed to the success of AFHS as an issue-based movement.
