Tertiary Healthcare System

Tertiary Healthcare System

Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care...

Area of Science:

Geriatric Medicine
Healthcare Systems Engineering
Public Health Policy

Background:

The aging population necessitates specialized healthcare systems to manage complex needs across the care continuum.
Quality of life is a primary goal for Aging-Friendly Healthcare Systems (AFHS).
Workforce shortages in geriatrics and primary care, particularly in Missouri, pose challenges to AFHS implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the importance of the 4Ms (What Matters, Mentation, Mobility, and Medication) initiative by the John A. Hartford Foundation.
To underscore the role of interdisciplinary teams in supporting AFHS.
To inform stakeholders about upcoming regulatory changes impacting AFHS.

Main Methods:

The 4Ms framework serves as a structured approach for developing AFHS.
Interdisciplinary collaboration is essential for successful AFHS.
Medicare's Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) Program mandates reporting on Aging-Friendly Hospital Measures.

Main Results:

The 4Ms initiative provides a foundational framework for AFHS.
Successful AFHS rely on strong interdisciplinary support.
Hospitals face financial implications for non-compliance with new reporting measures.

Conclusions:

The 4Ms framework is pivotal for advancing Aging-Friendly Healthcare Systems.
Addressing workforce shortages is critical for the sustainability of AFHS.
Mandatory reporting starting in 2025 will drive the adoption of Aging-Friendly Hospital Measures.
