Outcomes of Age-Friendly Health Systems: Return to Clinic After 4Ms Care Delivery.

The Age-Friendly Health System (AFHS) movement continues to grow in the United States as more health systems implement the 4Ms framework. Despite this growth, there are relatively few studies that evaluate outcomes related to AFHS implementation. This study assessed patient satisfaction with AFHS by analyzing the rate at which patients returned to the clinic for future health care, serving as a measure of quality.

Understanding the Relationship Between Comorbidities, Medication Nonadherence, Activities of Daily Living, and Heart Condition Status Among Older Adults in the United States: A Regression Analysis and Machine Learning Approach.

Background: Nonadherence to medication among patients with heart disease poses serious risks, including worsened heart failure and increased mortality rates.

Objective: This study aims to explore the complex interplay between comorbidities, medication nonadherence, activities of daily living, and heart condition status in older American adults, using both traditional statistical methods and machine learning.

Methods: Data from 326 older adults with heart conditions, drawn from the Health and Retirement Study, were analyzed.

A Systematic Review of the Application of Artificial Intelligence in Nursing Care: Where are We, and What's Next?

Background: Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into healthcare has transformed the landscape of patient care and healthcare delivery. Despite this, there remains a notable gap in the existing literature synthesizing the comprehensive understanding of AI's utilization in nursing care.

Objective: This systematic review aims to synthesize the available evidence to comprehensively understand the application of AI in nursing care.

Caregivers' Contributions to Heart Failure Self-care: An Updated Systematic Review.

Background: A previous systematic review reporting the contributions of informal, unpaid caregivers to patient heart failure (HF) self-care requires updating to better inform research, practice, and policy.

Objective: The aim of this study was to provide an updated review answering the questions: (1) What specific activities do informal caregivers of adults with HF take part in related to HF self-care? (2) Have the activities that informal caregivers of adults with HF take part in related to HF self-care changed over time? (3) What are the gaps in the science?

Methods: This review followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, and Cochrane CENTRAL databases were searched.
