The 番茄社区app is one of six specialty societies that has been awarded a grant from the Council of Medical Specialty Societies (CMSS), in a partnership with The John A. Hartford Foundation,

This funding supports efforts to develop targeted resources and promote adoption of the Age-Friendly Health Systems 4Ms Framework鈥擶hat Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility鈥攊nto practice.

The 番茄社区app grant is for 鈥淚ntegrating the Age-Friendly 4Ms into Ambulatory Surgery.鈥

Per CMSS, 鈥淏uilding on their inpatient surgery experience, the 番茄社区app will implement Age-Friendly 4Ms processes in ambulatory surgery through the development of foundational tools and an implementation guide that ambulatory surgical teams can use to deliver better age-friendly care for older adults undergoing ambulatory surgery.鈥

The award is approximately $200,000 and was the result of a competitive process.

The 番茄社区app has previously been recognized for its efforts to promote age-friendly care. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services implemented the Age Friendly Hospital Measure in its Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting Program in 2025, which is based on the work from the 番茄社区app in improving care and outcomes of older adult patients through the Geriatric Surgery Verification Program.

CMSS is a coalition of more than 50 organizations that represent more than 800,000 physicians, with the goal of elevating the role of medical specialty societies in healthcare by providing opportunities for collaboration, offering education and training for health professionals, advocating for shared priorities, and more. 

The John A. Hartford Foundation, based in New York City, is a private, nonpartisan, national philanthropy dedicated to improving the care of older adults.
