The goal of this session is to increase implementation of innovative ways to integrate the 4Ms into facilities and to measure objectively the outcomes of implementation. Learning Objectives: (1) describe the Plan-Do-Act process to developing and leading a nurse implemented age friendly approach to care in their acute care setting and identifying the outcomes to measure following implementation; (2) state the barriers to implementation of an Age Friendly Health Care approach into a primary health care clinic and the ways to overcome identified barriers; (3) describe how to implement an age friendly approach for what matters at the end of life through the incorporation of an advanced care planning approach and what is needed for success and what outcomes to measure; (4) describe how to implement an age friendly approach for people living with dementia and their care partners/caregivers.
