Age-Friendly Health Systems: Intervention and Implementation Outcomes (July 24, 2024)
The age-friendly health systems (AFHS) movement is one of the largest efforts to improve care delivery for older adults, with thousands of healthcare systems recognized as “Age-Friendly.” However, significant questions regarding this movement remain, including how best to implement evidence-based practices and the effect of Age-Friendly transformation on the outcomes of older adults.
Inquiry: The Journal of Health Care Organization, Provision, and Financing hosted a special issue on AFHS. This Special Collection seminar invited AFHS experts to discuss their research in this area with a focus on issues of implementation and intervention effectiveness of AFHS redesign efforts, furthering the field.
