ECHO Care of the Elderly – Using Technology to Build Capacity of Primary Care Providers in Long-term Care

Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is an educational program that uses videoconferencing technology to link primary care providers in local communities with expert interprofessional teams at an academic hub in order to build capacity of primary care providers and promote a learning and support community. Each ECHO session includes a short presentation by specialists on specific topics of interest followed by cases presented by the learning partners (spokes). Feedback and recommendations on cases are provided by both the Hub and spokes.
