ED/hospital program contributions to community multi-disciplinary team meetings: Different models.
Journal of elder abuse & neglect(2024)
摘要
Elder mistreatment (EM) is a complex problem, with response and prevention requiring contributions from professionals from many disciplines. Community-based multi-disciplinary teams (MDTs) that conduct meetings to discuss challenging cases and coordinate services are a common strategy to ensure effective collaboration. Though they play an important role in EM identification, intervention, and prevention, hospitals and hospital-based healthcare professionals have been particularly difficult to engage in MDTs. Two hospitals in different communities recently launched Emergency Department (ED)/hospital-based response teams to consult in cases of potential EM, and both participate in MDTs. We explored similarities and differences between the MDTs in these communities including in the role of the ED/hospital-based response team. The comparison demonstrates both core common features as well as large variations. These differences reflect different circumstances in the models on which they were based, on MDT development in these communities, available resources and infrastructure, and the ED/hospital program's role.
