More and more health systems are moving to the age-friendly model, and implementing the 4Ms across their clinical settings. This session will focus on Mobility, but will also explore a framework for how What Matters, Medication, and Mentation play an important role in ensuring safe mobility. Giving real life examples from certified age friendly health systems, GWEPs, and telemedicine experts, this session will explore STEADI and other options available to the broader primary care network. Learning Objectives: (1) describe the tools available to incorporate falls prevention & assessments; (2) discuss challenges that exist within the care setting when implementing these tools; and (3) review some non-traditional methods of ensuring safe mobility for older adults.
