Behavioral: Detection of Elder mistreatment Through Emergency Care Technicians-Revised for Primary Care (DETECT-RPC) screening tool
DETECT-RPC is an elder mistreatment (EM) screening tool designed for medics who respond to older adults' homes and will be adapted for home-based primary care (HBPC). The DETECT-RPC tool is designed to (1) be brief, (2) be based on the clinician's direct observations of the older adult and the older adult's physical and social environment, (3) provide reporting guidance, and (4) be integrated into their existing procedures and medical charting software.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. number of reports of EM [from randomization to termination of data collection (3 years)]

      Data will be collected on the number of reports of EM made by clinicians to the appropriate authorities [for example, adult protective services (APS)]

    2. Mortality [from randomization to termination of data collection (3 years)]

      Mortality among patients will be assessed among patients enrolled in the partner home-based primary care programs.
