What is Project ECHO?
Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes), developed by Sanjeev Arora, M.D., at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center, is a collaborative model of medical education and care management that helps clinicians provide expert-level care to patients wherever they live. Using video-conferencing technology to train, advise, and support primary care providers, Project ECHO increases access to specialty treatment, especially in rural and underserved areas, for a variety of conditions.
We think Project ECHO® can help. By connecting with a subspecialty team of experts and building a community of practice via telemedicine, primary care providers can increase knowledge, mastery that will inform their practice and benefit their patients.
The heart of the ECHO model™ is its hub-and-spoke knowledge-sharing networks, led by expert teams who use multi-point videoconferencing to conduct virtual clinics with community providers. In this way, primary care doctors, nurses, and other clinicians learn to provide excellent specialty care to patients in their own communities.
