" A provider active in NHPCO's Quality Connections
will gain an edge with partners and payers by
demonstrating their commitment to high quality care
and receiving national recognition from NHPCO, " said
NHPCO President and CEO Edo Banach. " We've
made the right thing to do, the easy thing to do. "
For More Information
▌	 Download the Quality Connections FAQ for
answers to some basic questions about the
program.
▌	 If you are a provider member and have not yet
enrolled in QC, follow the steps in the Quality
Connections User Guide to enroll in the program.
Learn more about the benefits of
enrolling in Quality Connections.

Each case presentation session will be facilitated by
NHPCO staff and include a case presenter(s) and
subject matter experts. Session participants and
the subject matter experts will have the opportunity
to ask the presenter clarifying questions and
provide feedback to the presenter to foster the " all
learn, all teach " approach.
Participation in Project ECHO sessions are open to
all those in the provider community and an archive
of Project ECHO sessions will be created on the
NHPCO website in the weeks ahead. There is no cost
to participate in a Project ECHO session making this
valuable learning opportunity accessible to all.
What kind of case is presented?
A case study is an in-depth study of one person,
group, or event. Cases can focus on hospice or
palliative care clinical practice or operational
process issues.
▌	 Clinical cases are actual redacted patient/family
cases that are challenging in some way or
facilitated a learning opportunity (i.e., serving
patient during a pandemic). Cases can be
current or in the recent past.

Learn more about how your organization can
support quality efforts through the Quality
Connections program. While the Gold Sponsorship
spots have been taken, there are still Silver and
Bronze Sponsorship spots available.

PROJECT ECHO
The first question many people ask is " What is Project
ECHO? " Project ECHO (Extension for Community
Healthcare Outcomes) is a tele-mentoring program
designed to create virtual communities of learners
through presentation of real cases allows
participants to learn through engagement and
interaction with their peers and session faculty.

▌	 Operational cases focus on events or process issues
at the operations level for either hospice or palliative
care programs, i.e., ensuring current exchange or
information with a nursing home partner.
