Abstract: The Elder Justice Act of 2009, which amends title XX of the Social Security Act (42.U.S.C. 13976 et seq.) requires that the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services “collects and disseminates data annually relating to the abuse, exploitation, and neglect of elders in coordination with the Department of Justice” (Sec. 2041 (a) (1) (B) and “conducts research related to the provision of adult protective services” (Sec. 2041 (a) (1) (D). Furthermore, the Elder Justice Coordinating Council (EJCC) included as its third recommendation for increasing federal involvement in addressing elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation: develop a national adult protective services (APS) system based upon standardized data collection and a core set of service provision standards and best practices. (See: http://www.aoa.acl.gov/AoA_Programs/Elder_Rights/EJCC/docs/Eight_Recommendations_for_Increased_Federal_Involvement.pdf) The National Adult Maltreatment Reporting System (NAMRS) will address these needs by establishing a data collection program on cases served by APS agencies, to which the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, Northern Marianas Islands, Virgin Islands, and American Samoa will report annually on a voluntary basis.
