Age-Friendly Health System (AFHS) uses a set of four evidence-based elements to organize the care of older adults, known as the “4Ms”: What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility. To ensure that older adults receive the care they need and that health care teams are supported in this work, adopting the 4Ms are essential elements of high-quality care for older adults. Implementing these measures can lead to substantial enhancements in patient care and outcomes. It also optimizes the value for everyone involved in the health care process – including patients, their families, caregivers, health care providers, and the system as a whole. However, the realization of this high-quality care is dependent on the senior leadership’s dedication to making age-friendly care a strategic priority.
