Leveraging AI to Advance Age-Friendly Care in the Veterans Health Administration The aging population presents a pressing challenge for healthcare systems, compelling effective strategies to address the complex needs of older adults. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has embraced the Age-Friendly Health Systems (AFHS) initiative from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) to ensure safe and high-quality care for older Veterans through its Whole Health initiative. As an Age-Friendly Health System, healthcare providers consistently utilize the evidence-based "4Ms": What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility, to deliver comprehensive care for older adults in all care settings. This manuscript explores the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing the evidence-based implementation of the Age-Friendly Health Systems (AFHS) 4Ms framework to provide optimal care for older adults. By leveraging AI technologies, such as natural language processing, machine learning, and data analytics, this manuscript delves into the opportunities and challenges in utilizing AI to support the 4Ms domains – what matters, medication, mentation, and mobility. Furthermore, it discusses the potential benefits of integrating AI-driven decision support systems and predictive analytics to personalize care, reduce polypharmacy and potentially inappropriate medications, enhance cognitive and mood assessments, and better identify mobility issues and interventions. By examining the intersection of AI and age-friendly care, this manuscript contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the transformative potential of AI in improving outcomes and the experiences for older adults across diverse healthcare settings.
