Elder abuse literature shows that health care professionals are aware of elder abuse/neglect laws but do not understand the requirements nor have the skills to diagnose the problem (Clark-Daniels & Daniels, 1990). Many victims of elder abuse appear in hospital emergency rooms for medical evaluation. Although 42 of the 50 states now have mandatory elder abuse/neglect reporting laws, few hospitals have responded with interdisciplinary elder protective teams in contrast to the situation with child abuse reporting laws. One exception has been the establishment of a multidisciplinary elder assessment team at Beth Israel Hospital, Boston, MA, to address the complex issues of recognition and assesssment of elders seen in the hospital who are suspected victims of abuse. Included in the mission of the team are consultation, support, and education to hospital staff about elder abuse and neglect. |
