Project ECHO: Implementing an All Share, All Learn Program Project ECHO is all about democratization of learning which is why NHPCO was eager to implement the program this year. Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is an innovative tele-mentoring program designed to create virtual communities of learners by bringing together healthcare providers and subject matter experts using videoconference technology, brief lecture presentations, and case-based learning. Participants are engaged in the bi-directional virtual knowledge network by sharing clinical challenges and learning from experts and peers. NHPCO started the journey of bringing Project ECHO to NHPCO in 2020 as a complement to the Quality Connections program. When we implemented the program in February 2021, we were not sure what to expect, but each month more providers joined the calls to listen and learn from the case presentations and subject matter experts. It has been inspiring to see providers take time to plug into this type of education during the ongoing pandemic in such large numbers. Our average monthly attendance since February has been 100 per session and there are no signs of slowing. Providers are the keystone of the program, and we cannot continue it without case studies. NHPCO is looking for cases studies that are: ▌ Relevant - to hospice current practice ▌ Compelling - will hold the interest of listeners/ participants ▌ Important - has a high impact or applies to multiple patients/caregivers ▌ Clear focus - topic(s) are well-illustrated by the scenario proposed ▌ Applicable - most if not all providers can relate ▌ Challenging - case involved challenges for the team ▌ Quality - demonstrates a connection to quality Keep the ECHO momentum going and join the ECHO learning wave by submitting your case today.
