Taking Accreditation to the Next Level with Age-Friendly at Home CHAP Certification

Description

Hear Dr. Jennifer Kennedy, Vice President of Quality and Standards for CHAP review the components for certification and the value to hospice and home health agencies designated as Age-Friendly Care at Home providers. Most people want to receive care at home as they age. Community Health Accreditation Partners recently launched Age-Friendly Care at Home certification as an extension of the Age-Friendly Health Systems program, an initiative of The John A. Hartford Foundation and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement in partnership with the American Hospital Association and Catholic Health Association of the United States. To be certified, a provider must support a care model that follows four evidence-based elements of high-quality care, known as the “4Ms”—what matters most, medication, mentation, and mobility.
