Article Synopsis
- The aging US population necessitates a skilled health care workforce focused on older adults, leading to the establishment of the Age-Friendly Health Systems (AFHS) framework that emphasizes the 4Ms—what matters, medication, mentation, and mobility.
- In the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), 85% to 100% of patients received care aligned with the 4Ms shortly after implementation, highlighting the importance of leadership support, champion identification, and EHR integration for effective data management.
- Successful AFHS adoption across VHA facilities may hinge on leveraging EHR technology to streamline documentation and improve care standardization, with ongoing efforts to embed AFHS practices into VHA system evaluations and metrics.
