The training system would also include several reporting tools including but not limited to an abuse questionnaire offered to those who they perceive as being at risk, which would be included as part of the health interview and to be administered to those who present in care settings and a system of follow up responses, contacts and alternatives associated with the event. "Although physicians and nurses are best positioned to recognize and diagnose cases of elder abuse, the level of reporting these cases is much lower than its true incidence." (Almogue, Weiss, Marcus & Beloosesky, 2010, p. 86)

One of the major problems, as quantitative researchers is that the research is limited in scope as it is defining a time and space sequence and is dependent upon quantifiable data. Additionally the pretest post test method relies on the implementation of an untried educational tool that may or may not elicit the desired response, i.e. increased intervention capacity for health care providers regarding the occurrence of elder neglect and abuse. Therefore the training materials and deliverables will need to be highly researched and need to be reviewed by nonparticipants, who still have a stake in the issue as a preliminary research preparation.

The anticipated result of the quantitative process would be to develop a comprehensive (provider/patient) view of the issue of elder abuse prevention through the development and refinement of an intervention strategy that would be associated with greater alternatives for intervention on the part of health care providers. The work could serve as a basis for the development of lobbying and further research for change that would provide a better community resource system to allow recognition, reporting, follow up and community development surrounding the concerns associated with elder abuse and neglect in limited health care access environments, such as is seen in rural communities and experienced by the elderly in those communities.
