An IHI (Institute for Healthcare Improvement) recognized Age-Friendly Health System is a clinical care setting utilizing the evidence-based interventions and reliable practices in healthcare provided to older adults. The elements of high-quality care of an Age-Friendly healthcare system are the 4Ms (What Matters, Medications, Mentation and Mobility).
There are 2 levels of recognition that can be achieved. Level 1 is an Age-Friendly health system participant committed to putting the 4Ms into practice with an approved IHI plan. Once Level 1 is achieved successfully for 3 or more months a healthcare system can submit for Level 2 recognition. Level 2 Age-Friendly recognition is achieved by a healthcare system committed to Care Excellence with a shown exemplary alignment of the 4Ms in practice along with the number of older adults provided 4Ms care in a consecutive 3-month timeframe.
