Advancing Age-Friendly Care: An Assessment of the CMS IQR Age-Friendly Hospital Measure
We are pleased to share our new report, Advancing Age-Friendly Care: An Assessment of the CMS IQR Age-Friendly Hospital Measure, developed in partnership with The John A. Hartford Foundation.
This report reflects the work of a national expert panel convened to assess the new CMS Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) Age-Friendly Hospital Measure, the first structural measure in a federal payment program specifically focused on the care of older adults. The panelists offered perspectives on how the measure can meaningfully elevate age-friendly care to a hospital-wide priority.
The report outlines specific, actionable strategies and study designs for how to assess the measure for validity, reliability, and impact on outcomes for older adults.
