TPW is pleased to host this webinar in partnership with Co-Impact.
COVID-19 has forced a pivot to alternative ways of providing healthcare while limiting exposure to the virus. With this has come a quick adoption of telemedicine--a tool involving remote health-related services such as monitoring, advice and education between doctors and patients online over a secure connection.
Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) takes telemedicine one step further. It moves knowledge instead of people so that millions of patients in dozens of countries across six continents can get the care they need.
Project ECHO is an innovative telementoring program designed to create virtual communities of learners by bringing together healthcare providers and subject matter experts using videoconference technology, brief lecture presentations, and case-based learning, fostering an “all learn, all teach” approach. Participants are engaged in the bi-directional virtual knowledge network by sharing clinical challenges and learning from experts and peers.
Project ECHO has been recognized globally as a successful tool to improve patient care outcomes. As the world responds to the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic, Project ECHO’s global partner network is uniquely positioned to provide a timely and effective platform to support and scale efforts to prepare for and respond to the spread of the virus, especially in vulnerable countries and regions. The ECHO Institute is working to coordinate and support the rapid development and implementation of ECHO telementoring programs worldwide, leveraging their existing network of ECHO hubs to rapidly disseminate information on COVID-19 preparedness and response in collaboration with local experts and community stakeholders.
Join us for a conversation with Dr. Sanjeev Arora to understand how Project ECHO is taking health systems change to global scale.
