Quality Improvement (QI) has been and can be integrated into the ECHO model in a variety of different ways. Whether with the goal of teaching quality improvement science, improving and measuring implementation of best practices, or reducing disparities in care, this use of the model is innovative and relatively new.
We are developing a small team to support this application of the ECHO model and are here to help in any way we can as you embark on this journey. At the ECHO Institute we are testing use of the model for QI, as we know partners are also doing, and are actively working to gather and share information to better understand what works and recommendations for future implementers.
There is a spectrum of implementation that we are actively working to better define:
This community is open to members of the ECHO Community (signed partners or not) interested in or already using the ECHO model for QI. We aim to create a safe space to share barriers and successes, as well as opportunities for collaboration, via monthly Zoom calls.
Participants have an opportunity to present their ECHO challenges and gather feedback for solutions from fellow partners. Guest speakers and current replicators are invited to speak on their work or other varying topics related to QI and ECHO.
