Abstract
With the rapidly increasing population of older adults, there is a great need to develop Aging-Friendly Healthcare Systems (AFHS) equipped in providing comprehensive healthcare to a complex population across an expansive care continuum. While there are several important components in a successful AFHS, the pinnacle of the AFHS is quality of life for the patients it serves. The John A. Hartford Foundation has launched the 4Ms (What Matters, Mentation, Mobility, and Medication) initiative as a structured approach to assist in the development of AFHS. The AFHS is highly supported by the interdisciplinary team, geriatricians, and primary care physicians, all whom are facing serious workforce shortages, particularly in Missouri. Beginning in 2025, hospitals that participate in Medicare's Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) Program will be required to report on Aging-Friendly Hospital Measures based on the 4Ms framework or face possible reimbursement penalties.
随着老年人人口的迅速增加，有一个很大的需要，以提供全面的医疗保健，在一个广泛的护理连续体复杂的人口配备的老年友好型医疗保健系统（AFHS）。虽然成功的AFHS有几个重要的组成部分，但AFHS的顶峰是它所服务的患者的生活质量。John a . Hartford基金会发起了4Ms （What Matters, mental, Mobility, and Medication）倡议，作为一种结构化的方法来协助AFHS的发展。AFHS得到了跨学科团队、老年病医生和初级保健医生的高度支持，他们都面临着严重的劳动力短缺，特别是在密苏里州。从2025年开始，参与医疗保险住院病人质量报告（IQR）计划的医院将被要求报告基于4m框架的老年友好医院措施，否则可能面临报销处罚。
