Background:

Population aging presents increasing healthcare demands.
Developing age-friendly health systems is crucial for older adults' well-being and quality of life.
A conceptual framework is needed to guide the provision of optimal care for the elderly.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a conceptual framework for an age-friendly health system.
To provide a basis for delivering high-quality care to older individuals.
To promote successful, healthy, and active aging.

Main Methods:

A scoping review was conducted using Arksey and O'Malley's model.
Van Olmen's health system model served as the baseline.
Expert opinions were used for framework validation.

Main Results:

140 studies (2016-2020, primarily US-based) were included after reviewing 12,316 documents.
Interventions should target health system functions, components, and objectives.
An age-friendly system involves evidence-based care, trained workforces, and patient/family involvement.

Conclusions:

Health systems require functional interventions to better serve older populations.
Societal collaboration is necessary to prioritize the health of older adults.
Achieving successful aging requires a coordinated societal effort.
