This $849,993 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research), aims to improve hospital care for older adults by developing an electronic health record (EHR) "4Ms Navigator" that integrates geriatric quality improvement frameworks. The primary products will be the design, development, and implementation of the 4Ms Navigator across five health systems to improve outcomes like reduced hospital length of stay, readmissions, and emergency department visits for older patients. The award will also establish novel electronic clinical quality measures related to maintaining cognition and physical function, a key priority for older adults. The project involves collaboration between national geriatric quality improvement programs and front-line hospital staff to create essential EHR infrastructure supporting age-friendly care. Findings will inform national dissemination to benefit millions of older adults.
