“…The ECHO model has proven to be a useful educational tool to support standardization of training and mentorship, as demonstrated by mock ECHO sessions conducted by organizations replicating the ECHO model. 7 Tools have been developed specifically for military personnel to support fidelity of the program. 4 Studies comparing the cost of pain management for patients using the ECHO model vs. in clinic found that, although the costs per patient were similar ($332.89 in clinic vs. $376.48 telehealth), following the ECHO model provided faster access to interdisciplinary and collaborative consultation while minimizing burden on patients.…”

“…During the U.S. Army–Project ECHO collaboration, MOCK ECHO and Anatomy of an ECHO were both created as important tools to ensure fidelity and standardization across the six large Army Pain ECHO hubs, as well as to aid in the training of hub and spoke clinicians. 4 , 7 The Anatomy of an ECHO training tool has been used as a guide to illustrate the process of presenting a case, asking for clarifying questions; developing a differential diagnosis; and making non-pharmacological, pharmacological, and interventional recommendations. 7 MOCK ECHO is a simulation training that allows clinicians to practice presenting cases with an interprofessional hub team and multiple spoke clinicians.…”

Introduction In collaboration with the ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) Institute since 2012, the Army, Navy, and Air Force have developed medical teleECHO programs to address various health and safety issues affecting military personnel. This article describes and compares the current state of military teleECHOs as well as the growth and change over time. Materials and Methods This study evaluated continuing education units (CEUs) offered, average session attendance, and number of spoke sites for current military teleECHO programs across the service branches. Results Between 2012 and 2019, the military teleECHO initiative grew from one program to seven different teleECHO programs, covering topics from pain to diabetes to amputee care. Military ECHOs now provide training to 10 countries and 27 states in the United States. Between October 2018 and September 2019, the military ECHO programs provided a total of 51,769 continuing medical education (CME) hours to a total of 3,575 attendees from 223 spoke sites. Conclusions The military has successfully used the ECHO model to improve the health and safety of active-duty military, retirees, and dependents.

OBJECTIVE To increase the knowledge and communication skills of health professionals related to climate change and human health (CCHH). METHODS From February to April 2021, Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) created an 8-week, synchronous and virtual, CCHH ECHO telementoring series for health professionals. Didactics, simulated cases, and climate change tools were used to educate the interprofessional group of participants. RESULTS During this CCHH ECHO pilot series, 625 unique participants represented 45 US states and 25 countries. The participants reported that they increased their knowledge, skills, and communication techniques regarding climate change and health. CONCLUSIONS The human health effects of climate change is an emerging field, and increasing knowledge and communication skills among health practitioners is of critical importance. The CCHH ECHO is one potential platform that may reach a diverse community of health professionals globally due to the diffusion and demonopolization of knowledge.

The ECHO (Extension for Community Health Outcomes) model has been introduced and implemented in several hospitals and health programs in Vietnam since 2015. In 2018, Vietnam National Children’s Hospital (VNCH) officially implemented the ECHO model to provide continuing medical education (CME) credits on pediatrics topics for medical staff in its satellite hospitals and health centers in the Northern region of Vietnam. This paper presents preliminary results of the ECHO program at VNCH. Methods included pre- and post-program assessments of pediatricians’ clinical knowledge, self-efficacy, and professional satisfaction. The analysis compared the differences between pre/post scores descriptively. Knowledge of participants increased by 22.5% points on average. More than 90% of Project ECHO-Pediatrics participants experienced increased confidence. Overall, there was an improvement in participants’ self-efficacy in the post-training compared to the pre-training (range 14.7%-22.6% difference from pre-training). All participants improved on their results in the clinical test immediately after the training and maintained it after 3 months. The study demonstrated the ability Project ECHO to improve healthcare worker knowledge and satisfaction.
