CMS Age Friendly Hospital Measure Webinar

Sign up for a webinar to learn how the American College of Surgeons can help your hospital comply with the new CMS Age Friendly Measure regulatory requirement.

Tuesday, September, 17 | 11:00–11:45 am CT

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has released a new Age Friendly Hospital Measure to improve the care and outcomes of older adult patients. Hospitals will be required to comply with the new measure beginning in January 2025.

The American College of Surgeons championed this measure to optimize the care and outcomes of geriatric patients. The efforts are largely informed by our Geriatric Surgery Verification Program (GSV), which has helped hospitals reduce postoperative delirium-related complications, cut readmission costs, and reduce the average length of a patient’s stay—generating significant cost savings while helping patients achieve their care goals.

On Tuesday, September 17, the ACS is hosting a 45-minute webinar to explain the new CMS Age Friendly Measure and answer your questions about how the GSV program can help your hospital prepare to meet this new regulatory requirement beginning in January 2025.

Speakers

Clifford Y. Ko, MD, MS, MSHS, FACS
Director, ACS Division of Research and Optimal Patient Care

Jill Sage, MPH
Chief, Quality Affairs, ACS Division of Advocacy and Health Policy

Register for the Webinar

Learn more about the CMS measure and how the GSV program can help you comply. We look forward to seeing you on the webinar and answering your questions about how GSV can help your hospital comply with this new measure.
