Institute for Healthcare Improvement; retrieved from the internet 7/2/25 
Starting with the 2025 reporting period, hospitals will attest to providing age-friendly care through a new measure introduced by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The CMS Age Friendly Hospital Measure advances the Age-Friendly Health Systems movement’s vision to ensure that all older adults receive age-friendly care that is evidence-based and aligns with what matters most to the older adult and their family caregivers. To date, nearly 5,000 sites of care have been recognized as Age-Friendly Health Systems — Participants and celebrated by IHI and The John A. Hartford Foundation. The measure has five domains that cover all four elements of age-friendly care, known as the 4Ms: What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility.
