这就是模型 项目回声® at 十大博彩推荐排名卫生 uses to connect people and their communities in a virtual setting, sharing knowledge between participants and subject matter experts. The program is especially helpful for rural communities seeking expertise on a broad range of health and medical issues.
“Everyone is a teacher, and everyone is a learner,” says Kathleen Broglio, DNP, associate professor of medicine and a nurse practitioner of palliative medicine.

什么是ECHO
ECHO is an acronym for Extension for Community 健康care Outcomes. It grew out of the vision of a University of New Mexico doctor, Sanjeev Arora, who in 2003 created 项目的回声 作为免费的, virtual mentoring platform to 提供 education to community 提供rs across his state.
从那时起, organizations all over the world have utilized this model, including 十大博彩推荐排名卫生, which this year celebrates five years and 54 ECHO cohorts that support improvements in clinical care and community-based health systems.
How an ECHO session is structured
Each ECHO has an inter-professional core panel that may include subject matter experts in the focus area of the ECHO, 包括医生, 护士, 药剂师, 还有社会工作者, as well as a community member.
In the first 15 minutes of a session, a presenter gives what is called a didactic—a factual, structured presentation. This didactic is followed by a five-minute presentation of a real-life case when a participant is seeking expert guidance. In the remaining time, the entire group focuses on asking clarifying questions, discussing and sharing viewpoints, and giving recommendations, with the core panel providing insights or guidance. 跟随ECHO, the recorded didactic portion is archived for broader access, and a list of resources related to the topic is made openly available.
Anyone may attend an ECHO session that brings together clinical and community partners to plan, 提供, and participate in collaborative education. Because the sessions are held virtually, participants can join from around the country and the world.
The Palliative Care ECHO
For Broglio, being involved in the Palliative Care ECHO has been very fulfilling.
“It has been one of the highlights of my career to be able to put together a high-quality, intensive program like this and 提供 inter-professional education that has been impactful to the participants,她说。.
Broglio is particularly proud of the faculty development component of the program spearheaded by Larson, providing guidance to junior faculty members through mentorship. It has been meaningful to her to hear the core panel 提供 recommendations about challenging cases and to see community members engaged and appreciative.
The past three cohorts of the Palliative Care ECHO have been very successful, and the program content has continued to evolve over time. The sessions have had an average of 70 participants and have received high scores on feedback metrics. Fifty percent of participants were repeat attendees.
“Our mission is to improve palliative care throughout our region, and our leadership is committed to the model,布罗格里奥说. “This was the culmination of what I hoped to do in my career.”
