We need to know and talk about #ElderAbuse the same way we talk about #NAI & #DomesticViolence !

Here are some facts
#Neglect, psychological abuse and financial exploitation is more common than physical or sexual abuse

More common in #ResidentialAgedCareFacilities

It leads to increased risk of mortality and morbidity including more hospitalization and ED visits
We need to #Screen for #ElderAbuse in ED !
The Elder Abuse Suspicion Index (EASI) is a validated short screening instrument

and make it a routine to examine #OlderPeople head to toe!
