title = "The power of data can support effective response to elder mistreatment in hospital emergency departments",
abstract = "Hospital emergency departments (ED) are in a unique position to advance best practices for identifying and responding to suspected cases of elder mistreatment. But implementing programs to improve ED clinical practice is challenging given competing priorities, systems barriers, and ED resource variation. Leaders in elder mistreatment prevention/identification/management, emergency medicine, and implementation science have developed approaches for using data to help EDs adopt such best practices. This article describes the Elder Mistreatment Emergency Department Assessment Profile and the Geriatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network.",
