UPMC Mercy Fourth Annual 4Ms Conference: Age Friendly Action

Pittsburgh, PA US
November 15, 2024

UPMC Mercy has become the flagship hospital for older adult patients, especially those with stroke or orthopedic fracture injuries, in the Pittsburgh area. However, there is a gap in the necessary education and resources to prepare clinical staff to care for the complex needs of older adults. UPMC Mercy has aligned with the national Age-Friendly initiative from the IHI and in 2021, the collaborative interdisciplinary efforts led to achieving the designation of Age-Friendly Committed to Care Excellence to improve the care of older adults at UPMC Mercy.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, the learner will: 1. Describe how the 4Ms framework can be applied to clinical practice. 2. Discuss how to integrate an Age-Friendly approach to practice. 3. Develop strategies to support Age-Friendly care using the 4Ms framework
