Podcast spotlights age-friendly care during COVID-19

In a new American Health Association (AHA) podcast, two experts discuss how the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles used the 4Ms Framework for an Age-Friendly Health System during the COVID-19 pandemic to enhance its geriatric fracture program and telemedicine encounters. The 4Ms refer to: what matters, medication, mentation and mobility. The speakers explain how an approach focused on these elements of care for older patients can help improve affordability and value for patients and communities. (AHA News article, 10/7/20)
