Aligning Care & Decisions to Older Adults' Health Goals
Online
Added:

In the U.S., the population of older adults with complex health care needs is growing rapidly. For older adults, health care can be complicated. They are more likely to experience duplication of services, multiple transitions between care settings, harm from medications, and lack of planning that incorporates the goals of patients and their families. Many care sites, including hospitals, health systems, physician clinicians, and ambulatory settings, have implemented the 4Ms Framework. Age-friendly care teams assess their current workflows to understand which processes can be eliminated or improved, with guidance from the 4Ms. These teams are using evidence-based practices to enhance quality, efficiency and the patient and family experience. In this course, learn more about this program, the influence it is having on the care of older adults, and the COVID impact on this population.

At the conclusion of this activity, attendees should be able to:
Analyze the impact COVID-19 has had on transitions and care coordination for older adults
Describe the concepts of an Age-Friendly Health System
List the key initiatives of the "What Matters" program
Recognize the long-term effects to providers, patients, and their family caregivers recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic
