Reliable delivery of evidence-based age-friendly care is now a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services directive. The road to Age-Friendly 4Ms care includes coordinating the assessment and management of what Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility. The journey requires many resources, including principles from implementation science and quality improvement. Using these two approaches and virtual experiences, participants will drive down the crossroads to implementing and sustaining age-friendly care. Achieving and implementing age-friendly care in all healthcare settings is essential to support the delivery of equitable, high-quality, and safe care for older adults.
