4Ms Educational Materials for Older Adults and Caregivers

The Age-Friendly Health Systems movement has been spreading to health systems and primary care through the Health Resources and Services Administration’s funding of Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Programs (GWEPs) across the country. An important step in promoting the movement was working directly with older adults and caregivers to learn how they think about the 4Ms, and then develop resources to help them proactively interact with their health care team.

Rush University Medical Center’s GWEP, CATCH-ON (Collaborative Action Team training for Community Health – Older adult Network) partnered with Community Catalyst’s Center for Consumer Engagement in Health Innovation to engage older adults and family caregivers in co-designing these materials.

The development of these materials below (available in English and Spanish) was generously funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration and The John A. Hartford Foundation.
