The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) has updated its guide, "Age-Friendly Health Systems: Guide to Care of Older Adults in Nursing Homes." This guide is designed to help care teams test and implement a specific set of evidence-based best practices in the care of older adults through the 4Ms Framework: What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility.
 
These updates are part of a regular process to incorporate the latest learnings from Age-Friendly Health Systems participants. The revisions include new tools for integrating equity into every step of the process, added clarity about the meaning of mobility, new examples and connections to case studies, and refreshed data and links to tools and resources.
 
Age-Friendly Health Systems is an initiative of the John A. Hartford Foundation (JAHF) and IHI.
