Elder mistreatment is common, serious, and under-recognized, with Emergency Department and hospital clinical encounters offering a potential but currently unrealized opportunity to identify and help older adults experiencing mistreatment. Interdisciplinary emergency department and hospital-based response teams represent a promising care model to address this. This manuscript describes two such teams and introduces a special issue dedicated to this work.
虐待老年人的现象很常见,也很严重,但未得到充分认识。急诊科和医院临床接触为识别和帮助遭受虐待的老年人提供了一个潜在但尚未实现的机会。跨学科的急诊科和医院为基础的反应团队代表了一种有前途的护理模式,可以解决这个问题。本文介绍了两个这样的团队,并介绍了一个专门针对这一工作的特刊。
