Health Centers as Age Friendly Health Systems

Background: Unprecedented growth in the older adult population requires health systems to be responsive to their complex medical, emotional, and social needs, and their potential risk for harm if care is not effectively coordinated.

In this webinar, recorded on April 15, 2020, NCECE and featured presenter, Institute for Healthcare Improvement Senior Director Leslie Pelton, explored how health centers can use the 4Ms framework (What Matters, medication, mentation, mobility) to build on the tremendous care health centers already provide to older adults to make sure evidence-based care, grounded in What Matters to older adults, is practiced reliably with every older adult, every day.
