Age-Friendly Health Systems Transformation: A Whole Person Approach to Support the Well-Being of Older Adults.
The combined efforts of whole health and AFHS ensure veterans are empowered and equipped to take charge of their health through assessments to identify their goals and care preferences, allowing their health services to be aligned with what matters most to them as patients. The VHA investment in this transformation empowers subject matter experts to collect data on implementation, scale up, and spread, and explore meaningful measures to monitor care quality and outcomes.
