From Suspician to Intervention : Improving responsiveness to abuse of the elderly in acute and sub-acute health care.

早期识别风险和综合多学科的反应，在整个卫生服务将是有效的应对多种复杂的行为和社会问题，有助于虐待老年人，因为它在紧急，急性和亚急性护理，但目前往往被忽视的卫生服务和文献。 我们建议，有效利用这一“卫生保健机会之窗”可以扩大社区对这一弱势群体的反应水平。

Early identification of risk and an integrated multidisciplinary response across the health service would be effective in responding to the multiple and complex behavioural and social issues which contribute to aged abuse as it presents in emergency, acute and sub-acute care, but are currently often ignored in health services and the literature. We propose that effective use of this "window of opportunity in health care" could extend the level of community response to this vulnerable group of people.
