Delighted to be here with you.
It's a huge honor to have you here, Sherry. Um, before we jump into the p the topic of the podcast, which is gonna be the age-friendly hospital measure. We have a song request. Who has a song request? Is it Stephanie?
I do. We are gonna play Riptide.
And why riptide?
I don't know. It's just a catchy song. I really like it. It's something that I'm always like humming and singing to myself.
And Alex has his guitar. Stephanie, you have the is that a fiddle?
It's a violin, yeah. Fiddle. It can be either.
Fiddle, violin. And I uh I forgot my cowbell.
That's okay.
Thankfully Eric forgot this cowbell. We hit it. That's what we need to turn into like a Saturday live episode. Okay.
That was awesome. I think our listeners are gonna agree that was amazing, but I was missing something. What? A little cowbell. Uh I thought
you meant to say singing.
Just
a
touch.
Just a touch of cowbell. Maybe in the outro I can find That's so fun. I'm so glad we get to do some live music with not just me. It was great. Thank you, Stephanie. Of course.
Okay, so uh we have done a podcast on age-friendly healthcare systems back in 2000. I think Julia and Stephanie, you were on for that podcast. We were. Remind me, what is an age-friendly healthcare system?
So the way that I think about age friendly health systems is that, you know, a lot of medical care is very disease centric. And when you build an age friendly health system, you can focus on all the other things that are very important, especially for older adults. Um, there's a lot of other aspects of people's lives that should go into medical decision making. And so there's a framework called the four M's that we use for the age friendly health system.
And remind our listener what the four M's are.
So they are what matters, mobility, mentation, and safe medication use.
Uh my last question on that. If four M's or five M's,
I had the same question. Sometimes isn't there a fifth M and what is that M?
So yeah, through the IHI and Hartford Foundation, we actually have the four M's. But I know some people add that fifth M multi-complexity.
Yeah. I think in our last podcast we were adding other ones like muffins and um other other and I'd encourage all of our listeners to listen to our last podcast on age-friendly healthcare systems because I think it really does a good job to summarize kind of where we are and what we're doing with that.
