Project ECHO
Clinicians from areas throughout Idaho share resources and discuss what really works when treating people with complex health conditions.
Project ECHO (the Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) equips primary care providers in rural and underserved communities to treat complex chronic diseases by linking them with specialist healthcare teams. In 2018, Project ECHO held 26 video mentoring sessions with 175 clinician participants focused on care and treatment for opioid addiction and behavioral health.
Ongoing funding is needed to train healthcare providers treating patients with chronic pain, opioid use disorder and/or serious mental disorders.
