NEW YORK—The nonprofit FAIR Health was awarded a grant from The John A. Hartford Foundation to expand the use of price-informed shared decision-making tools and resources on the award-winning FAIR Health for Older Adults website.
"FAIR Health is grateful to The John A. Hartford Foundation for its generous support of this initiative," said Ray Campbell, president of FAIR Health. "The work we are undertaking with the clinical sites may have important implications for clinical practice and policy."
FAIR Health for Older Adults is a free website that provides resources for seniors who wish to age at home. As part of the three-year initiative, FAIR Health will collaborate with 10 age-friendly clinical institutions to use these resources with older adults and caregivers at the point of care. FAIR Health will also launch a refreshed Healthy Decisions for Healthy Aging campaign in English and a new Spanish-language campaign to further spread awareness of FAIR Health for Older Adults nationwide.
FAIR Health said the new initiative is expected to generate further insights into how price-informed tools and resources can be widely integrated and sustained in diverse clinical settings.
"We are proud to support FAIR Health's effort to advance price-informed shared decision-making as an element of age-friendly care," said Rani Snyder, president of the John A. Hartford Foundation. "Clinical decision aids with cost information fill an important gap in helping older adults and families make treatment decisions with their providers based on what matters most."
