Summary
This study tested a short screening tool to identify older adults who may be experiencing abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation while they are still in the hospital. Researchers worked with 100 patients in a special geriatric unit to see if the tool could be easily used and help connect those at risk with extra care before they go home. The goal is to reduce missed cases of mistreatment and improve safety after discharge.
