Summary
A new model assesses Age-Friendly Primary Health Care (AFPHC) progress for older adults. This framework uses key domains and indicators to improve quality and access to services for the elderly.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Public Health
- Healthcare Management
Background:
- Global aging population necessitates Age-Friendly Primary Health Care (AFPHC).
- Existing primary health care (PHC) systems need assessment for elderly-centered services.
- Prioritization of AFPHC is increasing globally.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a comprehensive model for assessing AFPHC progress.
- To create a framework for evaluating elderly-centered primary health care services.
- To identify key domains and indicators for AFPHC initiatives.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative study design incorporating literature review, semi-structured interviews, and expert panel discussions.
- Utilized the Delphi technique for consensus building on the assessment model.
- Involved professionals, stakeholders, and older adults in Iran meeting specific experience and access criteria.
Main Results:
- Identified 16 main domains and 28 sub-domains from literature review.
- Extracted 7 main domains and 71 indicators through interviews.
- Finalized a model with 7 main domains and 60 indicators for AFPHC progress assessment.
Conclusions:
- The developed model provides a comprehensive framework for assessing AFPHC initiatives.
- It focuses on key domains and indicators specific to older adults' needs.
- The model is a practical tool to enhance the quality and accessibility of PHC for the elderly.

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...
