In mid-2024 the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services introduced a new quality measure entitled Age Friendly Hospital Measure. The initial phase went into effect 1/1/25. It is built around programs from the American College of Surgeons, the American College of Emergency Physicians as well as the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI). It is modeled around the IHI’s 4M Framework.
