Ageism in Health Care

Comments due Saturday, March 15, 2025

 

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality is seeking information regarding the impact of ageism in health care. This request is open to the public and is part of an effort to better understand and quantify the impacts of ageism on health care quality, including aspects related to safety, timeliness, patient-centeredness, equitable distribution, and care outcomes. They are also seeking to understand how the effect of ageism differs across population groups and are interested in identifying efforts and innovative strategies and programs that address and mitigate ageism to optimize older adults' health.

Details on how to submit comments are available in the Federal Register notice.
