Implication

Qualitative adaptation study demonstrates the feasibility of a modified Geriatrics 5Ms framework in Danish healthcare, highlighting the value of shared interprofessional language for older adults.

Key Points

Adapt the Geriatrics 5Ms framework (mind, mobility, medications, multicomplexity, and matters most) to align with the organizational structure and clinical needs of Danish healthcare.
Applied the ADAPT guidance in an iterative design process engaging academic researchers, clinicians, and patient representatives.
Conducted professional translation, expert workshops, focus groups, individual interviews, and gathered structured feedback across primary care, secondary care, and educational institutions.
Direct transfer of the original framework was not feasible due to organizational differences, prompting a transition from a physician-focused tool to an interprofessional reference framework.
The adapted model emphasized everyday functioning, care transitions, and shared decision-making, which stakeholders reported as highly relevant and feasible for cross-sectoral collaboration.
