Abstract

The emergency department and hospital provide a unique and important opportunity to identify elder mistreatment and offer intervention. To help manage these complex cases, multi-disciplinary response teams have been launched. In developing these teams, it quickly became clear that social workers play a critical role in responding to elder mistreatment. Their unique skillset allows them to establish close connections with community resources, collaborate with various hospital stakeholders, support patients/families/caregivers through challenging situations, navigate the legal and protective systems, and balance patient safety and quality of life in disposition decision-making. The role of the social worker on these multi-faceted teams includes conducting a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment, helping to develop a safe discharge plan, and making appropriate referrals, among other responsibilities. Any institution considering developing a multi-disciplinary program should recognize the critical importance of social work.

专业社工作为急诊室/医院虐待老人应对小组的一部分所发挥的关键作用。
急诊科和医院为识别虐待老人行为并提供干预提供了独特而重要的机会。为了帮助处理这些复杂的病例,多学科应对团队已经启动。在组建这些团队的过程中,我们很快发现,社工在应对虐待老人事件中发挥着至关重要的作用。社工的独特技能使他们能够与社区资源建立密切联系,与医院的各利益相关方合作,支持患者/家属/护理人员渡过难关,在法律和保护系统中游刃有余,并在处置决策中兼顾患者安全和生活质量。社工在这些多方面团队中的职责包括进行全面的生物心理社会评估、帮助制定安全出院计划、进行适当的转诊等。任何考虑制定多学科计划的机构都应认识到社会工作的至关重要性。
