National Collaboratory to Address Elder Mistreatment, Model Implementation

Grant Summary

This project will implement and evaluate the Elder Mistreatment Emergency Department Care Model within six diverse emergency departments. An estimated 10 percent of older adults—5 million people—are subject to elder abuse, neglect, exploitation and other forms of mistreatment. The intervention, developed with a group of leading national experts, aims to ensure that older people seen in emergency rooms, including in hospitals with limited resources, will be assessed for potential mistreatment and receive appropriate treatment and referral. In addition to conducting a structured feasibility trial of the model, the project will prepare training materials and develop clinical leaders in preparation for national scaling in a future phase.
