An intervention supporting caregivers of adults with chronic medical and functional needs can generate cost savings and improve outcomes for Medicare Advantage enrollees and their caregivers.
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.
High-need, high-cost older adult patients detail their health care goals, which may inform provider efforts to effectively engage with and care for these patients and their family caregivers.
