As of 2018, Maine is the oldest state in the nation according to the U.S. Census Bureau, with roughly 20% of the population over 65 years of age. The AMSL is seeking to standardize care for this population due to it’s large footprint across the continuum of care and the opportunity for system-wide improvement through strong collaboration with MMP Geriatrics.

Goal: Leverage the Clinical Transformation structure and resourcing with an existing MMP Geriatrics initiative focusing on the 4M’s in inpatient settings, including pursuit of IHI “Committed to Care Excellence” designation for Age Friendly Care.
