Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of introducing, implementing, and integrating a brief, existent elder mistreatment screening tool (the National Collaboratory to Address Elder Mistreatment (NCAEM)'s Elder Mistreatment - Screening And Response Tool (EM-SART) Pre-Screen) in the Memorial Herman Hospital (MHH)-Texas Medical Center (TMC)Acute Care of Elders(ACE) (MHH-TMC ACE) unit and to identify older adults who may already be suffering from abuse, neglect, and/or financial exploitation, as well as connecting the study participants to the primary Geriatric Medicine team on the ACE unit such that additional care, evaluation (including additional in-depth mistreatment screening), and intervention can be taken to prevent and minimize further harm prior to discharge. The investigators hope to reduce missed opportunities for mistreatment detection to lead to safer health outcomes and hospital discharges.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

NCAEM EM-SART Pre-Screen

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

NCAEM EM-SART Pre-Screen

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will be verbally asked the 3 participant questions on the NCAEM EM-SART Pre-Screen either directly or with support of hospital approved telephonic interpreters. Answers will be documented by the investigator digitally. Participants will be interviewed one time for a duration of approximately 15 minutes. No further action will be taken on study participants with negative elder mistreatment screens, unless findings concerning for emotional distress are identified by the investigator. If emotional distress is identified, these observations will be communicated to Geriatric Medicine team in person or via secure/encrypted email, with recommendations to follow-up with the participant about the results and take appropriate care actions. Study participants with positive elder mistreatment will have results shared with the study participant directly and with the Geriatric Medicine primary team via secure/encrypted email.
