AHA to help develop, test new care model for older adults
The Institute for Healthcare Improvement will work with the AHA and others to develop and test a prototype to transform care for older adults. Using a $3.19 million grant from the John A. Hartford Foundation, IHI and AHA will develop and test the Age-Friendly Health Systems prototype with four health systems that together serve older adults in 30 states: Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, CA; Trinity Health System in Steubenville, OH; Providence St. Joseph Health in Los Angeles; and Anne Arundel Medical Center in Annapolis, MD. The goal is to spread an evidence-based prototype to 20% of hospitals and health systems in the U.S. by 2020. For more information, visit www.johnahartford.org.
