Utilizing the 4Ms framework to create a structure and process to support voluntary health assessments in affordable housing
Background
A growing number of older adults live in senior affordable housing, many with limited support systems and representing underserved or disadvantaged populations. Staff in these buildings are in a unique position to identify and address the healthcare and biopsychosocial needs of their residents and link them to services and supports.
Methods
Staff in four affordable housing sites received training on the 4Ms approach to caring for older adults and conducting resident health assessments. They learned to collect comprehensive health information using a 4Ms Resident Health Risk Assessment (4Ms-RHRA) and results are entered into a customized electronic database. Embedded flags identify potential risk factors and initiate a follow-up process for documenting interventions and tracking referrals to healthcare and supportive services.
Results
Eighty-one percent of the 221 4Ms-RHRAs completed with residents (63% female, mean age 71.1 years, 73% live alone) were flagged for at least one concern (Mean = 2.2 flags). Items addressing What Matters were most frequently flagged: resident's “most important health issue” (55%) and Advance Care Planning (ACP: 48%). In response, staff provided Advance Directive forms and Five Wishes pamphlets to interested residents and reminded residents to review ACP documents annually.
Conclusion
Training affordable housing staff, precepting faculty, and students to conduct health assessments based on the 4Ms framework and longitudinally track interventions related to resident-centered needs and manage long-term service and supports is a first step in creating an interprofessional workforce capable of addressing the complex needs of older individuals in affordable housing.
期刊介绍:
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society (JAGS) is the go-to journal for clinical aging research. We provide a diverse, interprofessional community of healthcare professionals with the latest insights on geriatrics education, clinical practice, and public policy—all supporting the high-quality, person-centered care essential to our well-being as we age. Since the publication of our first edition in 1953, JAGS has remained one of the oldest and most impactful journals dedicated exclusively to gerontology and geriatrics.
