Webinar: The Age-Friendly Health Systems
Initiative
The
John A. Hartford Foundation and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement
are partnering on the Age-Friendly Health Systems (AFHS) initiative to
address gaps in care quality for older adults and work on improving care
experience, health outcomes, and costs of care. An age-friendly health
system is one that ensures older adults get the best care possible across
the continuum, reduces healthcare-related harms, ensures patient
satisfaction, and delivers true value.
With
a goal to spread the AFHS model to 20 percent of U.S. hospitals and health
systems by 2020, project stakeholders recognize that optimizing the model
requires a more robust integration of healthcare delivery with the
necessary community-based services that impact the social determinants of health
for older adults. To this end, the Aging and Disability Business Institute
is working to build the business capacity of community-based organizations
(CBOs) to partner with health systems, health plans, and payers in a
broader and more integrated way.
Please
join the Aging and Disability Business Institute on March 20 at
1:00 PM Eastern
for a one-hour webinar. Presenters will discuss their
efforts and how to move age-friendly health systems progress forward
through innovative partnerships.
Presenters:
-
Amy Berman, RN, LHD, FAAN, is a senior program officer with The John A. Hartford
Foundation, responsible for the Foundation’s work on AFHS.
-
Nora Super is the chief of Programs & Services at the National
Association of Area Agencies on Aging and director of the ADBI. Super has
