The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has released a newÌýAge Friendly Hospital MeasureÌýto improve the care and outcomes of older adult patients. Hospitals will be required to comply with the new measure beginning in January 2025.
The 2023Äê°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û¼Ç¼ championed this measure to optimize the care and outcomes of geriatric patients. The efforts are largely informed by ourÌýGeriatric Surgery Verification ProgramÌý(GSV), which has helped hospitals reduce postoperative delirium-related complications, cut readmission costs, and reduce the average length of a patient’s stay—generating significant cost savings while helping patients achieve their care goals.
The 2023Äê°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û¼Ç¼ hosted a 45-minute webinar to explain the new CMS Age Friendly Measure and answer questions about how the GSV program can help hospitals prepare to meet this new regulatory requirement beginning in January 2025.Ìý
