Moving Knowledge, Not Patients
In the U.S. and around the world, people are not getting access to the specialty care they need, when they need it, for complex and treatable conditions. Through virtual collaborative learning, Project ECHO creates access to high-quality, specialty care in communities across Indiana and beyond.
The ECHO Model
Project ECHO (Extension for Community Health Outcomes) is a movement that connects local primary care teams with interdisciplinary specialists to spread knowledge and enhance local capacity to provide best-practice care for complex chronic health conditions.
Through its revolutionary model, ECHO provides training and mentorship to transform health systems, ensuring that every individual has access to the highest quality of care and services within their home community.
ECHO’s goal is to enable rural and underserved populations to receive high-quality care, when they need it, close to home.
This low-cost, high-impact program achieves its goals by virtually connecting expert mentors with clinical and non-clinical healthcare professionals via Zoom.
