Description
A program paper from 2023 describes an effort to weave age-friendly care into cancer care across the United States. Older adults with cancer are a growing group, yet what counts as fair, high-quality care for them was poorly defined. A national cancer center association joined a health improvement institute to run the first oncology cohort guided by the 4Ms framework.
Twenty-two cancer programs took part in a learning and action period. The framework's four parts are what matters to the patient, mobility, mentation, and medication. Teams audited their own gaps and joined expert webinars. In a poll, most team members named medication as the hardest part to put in place and asked for more expert guidance. Many sites moved toward formal recognition.
