Show-Me Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) is a multi-disciplinary education and training program that creates virtual communities of learning around a specific topic. Typically structured for two hours of continuing education each month, the sessions include a short didactic presented by a specialist on the hub team for the community-based clinicians who make up the spokes of the model. After the short didactic, de-identified cases are presented by the community-based clinicians and facilitated discussion and recommendations are made. ECHO has proven to be a highly successful model in promoting the use of evidence-based practices.

This session will describe the many Show-Me ECHO topics relevant to participants in this conference and will discuss outcomes and changes to practice related to the ECHOs. Some of the ECHOs to be discussed are Adult Psychiatry, Child Psych, Disordered Eating & Eating Disorders, Foster Care, Suicide Prevention in Health Care, Pain Management, Opioid Use Disorder, Dementia & Alzheimer’s, Developmental Disabilities, and Certified Peer Specialist.
