Implementation of the Age-Friendly Health Systems approach within a Federally Qualified Health Center can improve patient care process outcomes and improve access to care for rural older adults.

The 4Ms approach developed for the Age-Friendly Health System model — what matters, medication, mentation, mobility — has a robust evidence base for providing quality care to older adults.
