Previous Events
Montana Project ECHO for Psychiatry
Frontier Psychiatry and Mountain-Pacific Quality Health jointly launch 3D ECHO, a telementoring initiative to deliver medical education and health care management to clinicians in remote settings throughout our region. Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a peer-to-peer education model that empowers clinicians to treat patients where they live. The goal is to reduce disparities among rural and under-served communities. Through innovative telementoring, the ECHO model uses a hub-and-spoke knowledge-sharing approach by which expert teams lead virtual clinics, increasing the capacity for providers to deliver best-in-practice care to the underserved in their own communities.
The newest Project ECHO hub is called 3D ECHO to reflect the importance of supporting the three dimensions of health care: biological, psychological and social.
Participants have the opportunity to present real-time, complex de-identified patient cases to receive patient recommendations from the ECHO hub and community participants.
