Improving Health Outcomes for Older Adults Through Age-Friendly Health Systems Aug 7

BONUS AHA WEBINAR!

Wednesday, August 7 at 1:00 pm ET (12:00 pm CT, 11:00 am MT, 10:00 am PT)

Join this webinar to learn about the positive impact and outcomes of using the Age-Friendly Health Systems 4Ms Framework, through a case example featuring Riverside Health in Williamsburg, Va. You’ll hear about the health system’s age-friendly journey, successes and challenges, and qualitative and quantitative outcomes.

By focusing on four key areas called the 4Ms — what matters, medications, mobility and mentation — care sites are improving patient care, safety and outcomes, and reducing length of stay and readmissions.

More than 54 million Americans are age 65 or older, and that number is projected to reach 95 million by 2060. Age-Friendly Health Systems is an initiative designed to meet the needs of older adults, looking beyond acute events, engaging the whole community and achieving better health for older adults.

Learning Objectives:

• Assess the need for health care organizations to become age friendly
• Learn about the Age-Friendly Health Systems movement and how the 4Ms Framework — what matters, medications, mobility, and mentation — can be applied to a care setting
• Review the progress, successes, and challenges of the initiative from a health care team and hear about how your organization can become involved
