Nursing Homes are invited to join the Institute of Healthcare Improvement's (IHI) Age-Friendly Health Systems (AFHS) "Action Community" beginning in March 2025.

The Action Community offers a free, seven-month virtual learning program designed to help nursing homes and other healthcare systems accelerate adoption of the the 4Ms (What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility) Framework. These are a set of evidence-based practices intended to make the complex care of older adults manageable, consistent, and reliable.

Nearly 750 nursing homes are already recognized as Age-Friendly and are beginning to report positive impacts on overall quality, residents, and staff.

Log on here to learn more and register. Any questions, please contact Janine Finck-Boyle, vice president of health policy.
