The Journal of the American Geriatrics Society (JAGS) has published a paper, "Review of Programs to Combat Elder Mistreatment - Focus on Hospitals and Level of Resources Needed."
A literature review of 116 articles describing 115 elder mistreatment programs, including those that had not undergone evaluation, was undertaken. Programs were categorized into 14 types and 9 subtypes and examined, including for their potential to be successfully implemented.
The objective was to conduct a more comprehensive examination of programs to improve elder mistreatment identification, intervention, or prevention.
The National Collaboratory to Address Elder Mistreatment Project team undertook the review. Lead author was Tony Rosen, MD, and co-authors include Rani Snyder, MPA, Amy Berman, RN, LHD, FAAN, and Terry Fulmer, PhD, RN, FAAN, from The John A. Hartford Foundation.
