Summary:To implement the Age-Friendly Health Systems (AFHS) 4Ms framework, focusing on Medication and its impact on Mobility, Mentation, and What Matters, within Hamad Medical Corporation in Qatar. A quality improvement approach was used to implement, extend, and sustain the AFHS 4Ms framework at Hamad Medical Corporation. The Medication "M" was described as the use case to illustrate the impact of high-risk medications on Mobility, Mentation, and What Matters, using an evidence-based, interdisciplinary approach. Implementation of the AFHS 4Ms framework revealed success in aligning multidisciplinary teams to prioritize patient-centered care and caregiver engagement. Through this collaboration, a process map, modified medication screening tool, documentation templates, and educational efforts were developed. Applying the AFHS 4Ms framework into health care settings is crucial to improve the care of older adults. Medication management is a cornerstone, involving interdisciplinary team input during screening and act phases to ensure proper medication prescribing and use in older adults. [ (6), 6-9.].
