The Senior Care Pharmacist is launching a series of age-friendly cases that demonstrate the value of collaboration between pharmacists and other health care professionals to integrate evidence-based practices, avoid harm, and improve care in alignment with What Matters to older adults. Over the next several issues of the journal, articles focused on each of the 4Ms - What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility - will demonstrate the application of Age-Friendly care principles consistent with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and the John A. Hartford Foundation's Age-Friendly ecosystem. These case discussions will offer the opportunity for recertification credit for Board Certified Geriatric Pharmacists (BCGP) upon achieving a passing score on the associated self-assessment questions.
