What Is Project ECHO?
Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is an educational outreach program that seeks to address health care disparities with low-cost, high-impact interventions. The program was designed to provide patients with access to the specialty they care they need, when they need it, for complex and
treatable conditions—particularly in underserved or remote areas.
Four Principles of the ECHO Model
Use technology to leverage scarce resources.
Share best practices to reduce disparities.
Apply case-based learning to master complexity.
Evaluate and monitor outcomes.
How Does It Work?
Didactic Education & Support
Subject matter experts help manage patient cases and offer mentoring, guidance, feedback and didactic education.
15-Minute Video Review
Each session has a 15-minute didactic recorded presentation for participants to review prior to the live discussion. Participants can submit questions in advance.
Collaborative Live Sessions
The one-hour sessions have a dedicated time for Q&A about the didactic presentation, followed by a case presentation and discussion. Sessions are conducted through video conferencing.
