Child and Domestic Violence Fatality Review teams have made a major impact to improve protections, services, and system responses for victims. There are over 1300 child fatality review teams in 50 US states and 200 domestic violence fatality teams in 45 states. Older adult fatality reviews, in contrast, have not proliferated across the country, missing opportunities to bring interdisciplinary expertise together to resolve policy, protection, and services needed to prevent older adult premature deaths due to violence and abuse. Method: A mini mock review of a fatality of an older adult woman will demonstrate the possibilities of beginning Older Adult Fatality Review Board as recommended by the American Bar Association. Conclusion: Interdisciplinary older adult fatality review teams have been an underutilized tool to make changes in older adult mistreatment protection services and systems.

This prevalent older adult maltreatment often goes undetected and unreported and may result in poor physiologic and/or psychological health outcomes that are not perceived as abuse-related by healthcare providers. This article focuses on financial exploitation of older adults as a health care problem, as it often occurs when vulnerable older adults are receiving help and/or health care services from trusted caregivers.

The World Bank defines FE as financial violence and the World Health Organization describes FE as financial or material abuse. Both international organizations recognize that FE causes deprivation/neglect leading to physical and emotional injury to victims. Older African Americans (OAA) are disproportionately affected by FE, impacting their health and welfare. A qualitative phenomenological study explored the lived experiences of FE among OAA. A Community Based Participatory Research approach was used to partner with a predominately African American-faith based community. Participant recruitment (n=12) was through community sponsored seminars that included verbal presentations, group discussions; individual surveys, Older Adult Financial Exploitation Measure (OAFEM). OAFEM data was analyzed to identify risks. Analysis of the interviews included Open and Axial coding, and data categorization. Us...
