| Resumen: | The 4Ms Framework for Age-Friendly Care represents an advancement in geriatric health care, offering structured approaches to addressing What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility (Fulmer et al., 2022). The current article examines an ED visit followed by a hospitalization of Mr. R at an academic medical center with recognition for age-friendly care in the ED and inpatient settings (American College of Emergency Physicians, n.d.; Institute for Healthcare Improvement [IHI], n.d.). Mr. R's Perspective About His Hospital Experiences At age 81 years, Mr. R, a formerly unhoused Black man, had never been hospitalized, not even at birth. Equity in age-friendly care means reliably assessing and acting on the 4Ms regardless of race, ethnicity, language, sexual orientation, gender identity, or social and economic circumstances, which includes understanding and addressing existing inequities in care for all older adults, particularly those from historically marginalized groups (Southey & Henriquez Garcia, 2023). |
