Project ECHO: Intermountain Healthcare
Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a collaborative model of medical education and care management geared toward primary care clinicians in rural & underserved areas. These caregivers are linked via live video to expert clinical teams led by Intermountain Healthcare providers, which acts like virtual grand rounds and combines mentoring and patient case presentations. This allows front-line clinicians to obtain the knowledge and support they need to manage patients who have complex conditions, to better determine when referrals to specialists and sub-specialists are medically appropriate, and to improve relationships and networks they have with specialists in a variety of areas of care.
Intermountain Healthcare is currently offering Project ECHO programs in support of a variety of complex conditions, with new programs being added regularly. Visit this page often for updates.
All sessions are held via Microsoft Teams. Once registered, participants will receive connection details and calendar appointments.
