How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Age-Friendly Health Systems as Social Movement
    methodology: age-friendly_health_systems
    By advancing the Age-Friendly Health Systems model as a social movement, systemic change in healthcare for older adults is achieved because collective action accelerates adoption and institutionalizes age-friendly practices.
  • Home-Based Acute Care Integration
    methodology: hospital_at_home
    By promoting hospital-at-home models as an equitable alternative to traditional hospitalization, better outcomes are achieved because care is delivered in familiar environments while actively including family caregivers in support structures.
