BMC Joins the Age-Friendly Health System Community

To better support older adults and improve their health outcomes, health systems must put in place comprehensive, coordinated evidenced-based models that better deliver care to the growing aging population.

In September 2018, BMC joined John A. Hartford Foundation-Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s (IHI) Age-Friendly Health System Community in spreading age-friendly care with the goal of reaching 1,000 US hospitals and 1,000 medical practices by December 2020.

BMC is working towards a comprehensive approach to implementing best practices under the 4Ms (What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility) for each patient 65+ admitted to the hospital.

BMC is well on its way to becoming an Age-Friendly Health System!
