1 Wisconsin s Annual Elder Abuse and Neglect Report: 2006 A statewide summary of reports submitted by Wisconsin counties P (08/2007)
2 Introduction: The Annual Elder Abuse and Neglect Report In Wisconsin, county agencies receive elder abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation referrals and respond to them, determining whether a situation of abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation exists and creating individualized service plans to assist elder persons and help ensure their safety. After responding to an incident, county agencies file an incident report with the Department of Health and Family Services, using the web-based Wisconsin Incident Tracking System (WITS). A compilation of all county incident reports from 2006 are the basis of this statewide Annual Elder Abuse and Neglect Report.
3 New Reporting System In September, 2006, DHFS rolled out the Wisconsin Incident Tracking System (WITS), a web-based application county agencies use in reporting their responses to incidents of elder abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation. In addition to collecting all the information previously submitted to DHFS on paper forms, WITS collects new information on clients substitute decision makers, home and community-based waiver participation, and other topics. Because the software was provided late in the reporting year, county workers began the year collecting information on paper forms and later transcribed them into WITS. For incidents that took place before WITS was available, workers may not have had information about substitute decision makers, waiver participation, etc. Thus, the 2006 report is missing some information on these topics, and you will note frequent use of unknown as an answer to some of the new questions. Reports will be more complete in future years as WITS becomes the standard for data collection.
4 More Changes Ahead Effective December 1, 2006, the laws regarding reporting of abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation changed to create consistent reporting requirements for adults of all ages. The provisions to ensure the safety of older adults now extend to adults at risk of all ages. For more information about the new laws and their implications for response and reporting, use the link to the August, 2006 issue of Wisconsin Lawyer on the DHFS Adult at Risk webpage: Beginning in Fall, 2007, county adult-at-risk agencies will be able to use WITS to report on incidents of all abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation involving adults age 18 and over, not only those age 60+. DHFS will continue to provide separate annual reports on incidents of elder abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation, and on incidents involving younger adults at risk.
5 Growing Awareness of Elder Abuse A total of 4,372 cases of suspected abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation were reported in 2006, an increase of 3.3 percent from Tragically, 24 were fatal and another 260 were considered lifethreatening. About one in 11 incidents (6.5%) involved a lifethreatening or fatal situation. The increased number of reported incidents signals better communication between law enforcement, health care professionals and social services agencies, which leads to more people recognizing signs of abuse and helping to ensure the safety of our older residents. This report documents reported elder abuse incidents in Wisconsin, and provides information about the types of incidents reported, characteristics of the victims and abusers, and local responses which guide the State's efforts to prevent abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation.
