A Path to Better Care for Older Adults
Over 95% of US hospitals rely on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for at least 50% of their revenue, and almost all participate in the CMS Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) Program. Starting January 1, 2025, hospitals in the IQR program will avoid Medicare payment reductions by reporting on the 5 domains of the CMS Age Friendly Hospital Measure. This is essential because the population of older adults is increasing, as are the h…
Evidence for the 4Ms
Objectives: An expert panel reviewed and summarized the literature related to the evidence for the 4Ms-what matters, medication, mentation, and mobility-in supporting care for older adults. Methods: In 2017, geriatric experts and health system executives collaborated with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) to develop the 4Ms framework. Through a strategic search of the IHI database and recent literature, evidence was compiled in suppo…

Strauss et al. Respond
We appreciate the response to our article regarding the proportion and characteristics of patients who saw a dentist but not a primary care health provider in 2008. Like Greenberg and Glick, we also performed an earlier analysis using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data. We determined the proportion of individuals at increased risk of having diabetes, but who were unaware of that increased risk.1 We found that 93% of US…

Identifying Unaddressed Systemic Health Conditions at Dental Visits
We assessed the proportion and characteristics of patients who do not regularly visit general health care providers but do visit dentists and whose unaddressed systemic health conditions could therefore be identified by their dentist. Of the 26.0% of children and 24.1% of adults that did not access general outpatient health care in 2008, 34.7% and 23.1%, respectively, visited a dentist. They varied by census region, family income, and sociodemogr…
Geriatric Interdisciplinary Team Training Program
Geriatric interdisciplinary team training has long been a goal in health education with little progress. In 1997, the John A. Hartford Foundation funded eight programs nationally to create Geriatric Interdisciplinary Team Training (GITT) programs. Faculty trained 1,341 health professions students. The results of the evaluation, including presentation of new measures developed to assess interdisciplinary knowledge, are presented, and the implicati…
Confronting Chronic Neglect
As many 20 to 25 percent of American adultsa one in every four peoplea been victimized by, witnesses of, or perpetrators of family violence in their lifetimes. Family violence affects more people than cancer, yet ita (TM)s an issue that receives far less attention. Surprisingly, many assume that health professionals are deliberately turning a blind eye to this traumatic social problem. The fact is, very little is being done to educate health prof…
