TeleECHO

Using technology-supported mentoring and case reviews, TeleECHO moves knowledge to the right place at the right time for the right outcomes. TeleECHO focuses on supporting the treatment of mental and behavioral health concerns in pregnant and postpartum women, children, adolescents and their caregivers in clinical settings.

The PPCL team will facilitate the TeleECHO series, which functions like virtual grand rounds. During TeleECHO sessions, providers will present de-identified patient cases to expert teams who guide the learners through managing patients with complex conditions. Each session will provide mentorship through:

• case-based learning

• clinical discussion

• brief-focused didactic learning from each other's experiences to support knowledge in practice

Participation in TeleECHO sessions will provide opportunities for CMEs and continuing education for doctors, nurses, and social workers.
