What is ECHO?
ECHO™ (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a professional learning community and guided practice model that increases workforce capacity to apply best practices. The ECHO model supports a knowledge sharing network that is led by expert teams, who conduct learning sessions about evidence-based practices.
Short lectures and case presentations are conducted through video conferences. Participants learn best practices to support the individuals they serve by implementing real-time solutions, improving systems, and removing barriers to care.
Case-based learning and mentorship is key to the ECHO model and supports local professionals and communities to gain the expertise required to provide needed services. Participants gain skills and confidence and learn about new approaches for applying their knowledge across populations.
