0633_ABSMC_Geriatrics for Hospitalist, Session 2: Medication Management for Older Adults_Live

Berkeley, CA US
June 24, 2025

Description: 

The AFHS 4Ms framework is an evidence-based, standardized approach to address the health and social equity needs of our older adult patients, especially those with complex care needs. Care strategies focus on identifying what matters most to patients and families, then applying these goals to medication management, mobility promotion, and support for dementia, delirium, and depression (mentation) prevention and early intervention. This presentation evaluates the importance and impact of Age-Friendly care through a case study and then reviews national policy changes and promoters of the 4 M's framework adoption. Additionally, the presentation will provide an overview of how the Age-Friendly framework promotes equitable care and aligns with Sutter's mission and values.
