Hospital study aims to spot hidden elder abuse before patients go home
NCT ID NCT05807568
Summary
This study tested whether a short screening tool could be easily used to spot signs of elder abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation in older adults while they were in the hospital. The goal was to identify patients who might be at risk and connect them with a specialized care team for further evaluation and support before they were discharged. Researchers hoped this would lead to safer outcomes for vulnerable older adults.
