Age-Friendly Health System
Age-Friendly Health Systems are health care systems that use the 4Ms framework created by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement:
-
Asking What Matters to older adults, making sure that the care plan fits what matters
-
Reviewing Medications, decreasing high-risk medications when possible
-
Addressing Mentation, or Mind by screening for dementia and depression, then treating or referring to specialists
-
Assess Mobility and take action on a plan to move more and better
For more about the 4Ms, please watch the video below.
In partnership with Community Catalyst, older adults, and caregivers, CATCH-ON developed materials about the 4Ms that can be found below. Please share these materials with family and friends!
