Summary

This trial aims to see if using a special screening tool helps healthcare workers find and report more cases of elder abuse among elderly patients who receive care at home.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for clinicians who provide home-based primary care at least part-time to patients in partner programs. It's not specified who can't join, but typically those not involved in such care would be excluded.
What is being tested?
The DETECT-RPC tool is being tested to see if it helps clinicians report elder mistreatment more often when they visit older adults at home for primary care services.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves a screening tool rather than a medication or medical procedure, there are no direct physical side effects. However, using the tool could affect how clinicians interact with their patients.

Other Research
The most common treatments for elder abuse focus on detection, reporting, and intervention. Tools like the DETECT-RPC screening tool are crucial as they provide a structured method for clinicians to identify and report cases of elder mistreatment, thereby increasing detection rates. This is important because early detection can lead to timely interventions, which may include social support, legal action, and medical care to address both physical and psychological harm. Non-pharmacological interventions, such as counseling and social services, aim to improve the overall well-being and safety of the elder, while pharmacological treatments may be used to manage any resultant health issues. Effective treatment hinges on a multidisciplinary approach that ensures comprehensive care and protection for elder abuse patients.
