Age-friendly practice principles significantly enhance patient outcomes for older adults by incorporating evidence-based practices (the 4 Ms: What Matters, Medication, Mentation, Mobility), ensuring care aligns with patients’ goals and avoids harm. These principles address the unique needs of older adults, promoting safe medication use, managing cognitive health, and maintaining mobility. Moreover, they emphasize understanding and addressing health-related social needs (HRSN), such as housing instability and nutrition insecurity, which directly impact health outcomes.
In the fourth activity of this CME Outfitters Snack series, expert faculty will educate healthcare providers on implementing age-friendly principles in clinical care and as part of a collaborative team to improve outcomes for aging patients. Participants will learn to identify and integrate the 4 Ms into patient care, recognize the applicability of NCQA HEDIS measures for healthy aging, and address HRSN to enhance care delivery. By fostering engagement, promoting education, and developing strategies to meet older adults’ needs, this program seeks to create a more inclusive and effective healthcare environment.
