MIStreatment Screening in Elders Before Discharge

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of introducing, implementing, and integrating a brief, existent elder mistreatment screening tool (the National Collaboratory to Address Elder Mistreatment (NCAEM)'s Elder Mistreatment - Screening And Response Tool (EM-SART) Pre-Screen) in the Memorial Herman Hospital (MHH)-Texas Medical Center (TMC)Acute Care of Elders(ACE) (MHH-TMC ACE) unit and to identify older adults who may already be suffering from abuse, neglect, and/or financial exploitation, as well as connecting the study participants to the primary Geriatric Medicine team on the ACE unit such that additional care, evaluation (including additional in-depth mistreatment screening), and intervention can be taken to prevent and minimize further harm prior to discharge. The investigators hope to reduce missed opportunities for mistreatment detection to lead to safer health outcomes and hospital discharges.
