National Collaboratory to Address Elder Mistreatment Phase IV: Integrating Elder Mistreatment Prevention and Intervention in Mainstream Health and Social Care
Grant Summary
This funding will support a next phase of the National Collaboratory to Address Elder Mistreatment, creating a cohesive national approach that builds on prior momentum by embedding elder abuse identification and intervention in mainstream health and social care for older adults. The initiative will identify supportive policy and payment pathways, integrate elder mistreatment into larger aging initiatives, and align with related efforts of key federal government agencies. The Collaboratory will support translation of evidence into practice by developing a model for evaluating return-on-investment for elder mistreatment prevention and intervention program implementation. This will include documenting and disseminating lessons learned from the rollout of the Elder Mistreatment Emergency Department Toolkit and regional elder mistreatment work in Pennsylvania, supported by The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation. The Collaboratory will also continue its mentorship program and develop and implement a sustainability plan for the longer term.
