| 1:05 PM | The Role of Age Friendly Care when Maximizing the Health of Older Adults Living with Chronic Disease Lisa M. Walke, MD, MSHA, AGSF, University of Pennsylvania Elizabeth Eckstrom, MD, MPH, Oregon Health & Science University In this presentation, Drs. Walke and Eckstrom will present a case study and discuss how employing the AFHS 4Ms approach when caring for older adults living with chronic disease is important to optimizing health and ensuring care is organized around what matters to the person. Dr. Walke will explore mentation and what matters in the management of chronic disease, highlighting the importance of patient-centered care and shared decision-making. Dr. Eckstrom will focus on medications and mobility by discussing the Geriatric Prescribing Context with a focus on how institutions can integrate it with Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to minimize Potentially Inappropriate Medications (PIMs) and mitigate the risks for individuals living with chronic disease. Dr. Eckstrom will then discuss how safer mobility can alleviate the burden of chronic diseases. |

| 1:40 PM | Explanation of Round Table Discussions: Implementing the 4Ms of Age-Friendly Care The 4Ms — What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility — make care of older adults that can be complex, more manageable. The 4Ms identify the core issues that should drive all care and decision making with the care of older adults. They organize care and focus on the older adult’s wellness and strengths rather than solely on disease. The 4Ms are relevant regardless of an older adult’s individual disease(s). They apply regardless of the number of functional problems an older adult may have. The 4Ms are a framework, not a program, to guide all care of older adults wherever and whenever they touch your health system’s care and services. The intention is to incorporate the 4Ms into existing care, rather than layering them on top, to organize the efficient delivery of effective care.
