0472_CPD_Committed to Care Excellence: Age-Friendly Health Systems Essentials_EM

Description:

The United States is experiencing a demographic shift characterized by an aging population and increasing diversity. As of 2020, approximately one in six individuals in the U.S. is aged 65 years or older and close to 11,000 more turn 65 every day. With population aging, healthcare needs often become more intricate and yet, health systems frequently struggle to manage this complexity effectively. This inadequacy can lead to a disproportionate level of harm among older adults within the healthcare system. To address these challenges, Sutter Health is dedicated to becoming recognized as a "Committed to Care Excellence" Age-Friendly Health System (AFHS) by Winter 2025. To support this initiative, this course is designed to educate future AFHS champions on the essentials of this evidence-based framework and the foundational principles known as the 4Ms: What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility. The 4Ms framework provides a structured approach to delivering comprehensive care to older adults, ensuring that their needs are met across all interactions with the health system.
