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

早期识别风险并在整个保健服务部门采取综合多学科应对措施，将有效应对多种复杂的行为和社会问题，这些问题在紧急、急性和亚急性护理中出现，导致虐待老年人，但目前在保健服务和文献中往往被忽视。我们建议，有效利用这一“医疗保健机会之窗”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.
