  1. 2013 Annual Meeting Year in Review

  2. Why ECHO-Chicago? Launched in 2010 to address the problem of access to subspecialty care in underserved communities in our community • Community-based primary care providers often lack the support and training to manage complex, chronic disease effectively • Training opportunities are limited, costly, and often require travel • Training is not always relevant to special populations, including underserved and minority communities Cook, et al, Health Affairs 2007;26(5):1459-68 • Demand for subspecialty services outstrips availability of subspecialists • Particularly acute where social and economic distance limit access to care • Disparities in access to care exacerbate health disparities • Primary care setting is often the best place to deliver care for common, chronic diseases

  3. Purpose ECHO-Chicago uses case-based, iterative, telehealth curricula delivered via high-grade videoconference technology to bring advanced training and support to primary care providers in underserved communities throughout the Chicago metro area. • Disseminate best practice management of complex, common, chronic disease in the primary care medical home • Use case-based learning; the most widespread teaching method in medicine • Leverage advanced technology to reduce cost and time constraints, and eliminate travel • Engage primary care providers in a local network to share knowledge and experience

  4. Knowledge Transfer + Technology = Force Multiplier RWJF 2011

  5. ECHO-Chicago Story Introduced Pediatric Obesity and Co-morbidities curriculum Idea formed initiated planning for ECHO-Chicago Completed study on provider response to ECHO model; published results in Partnerships in Community Health Introduced Pediatric ADHD curriculum at N community health center partners Seed Funding from Urban Health Initiative 2010 2012 2009 2013 2011 First outside funding, from Grant Healthcare Foundation Introduced Breast Cancer Survivor Care curriculum at community health center partners • Launched ECHO-Chicago • Collaboration with six community health center partners • Focus on resistant hypertension Completed pilot on hypertension; published results in J. Clinical Hypertension

  6. ECHO-Chicago Growth

  7. 2013 Activities • Launched new curriculum in Pediatric Obesity and Co-morbidities • Collaboration with 7 community health center partners • community provider participants • Transitioned to Vidyo™; web-based videoconference technology • More user-friendly • Greater flexibility; works on PCs, MACs, tablets, and mobile devices • Better quality; lower bandwidth • Lower cost • Expanded our network from two additional community partners

  8. 2013 Activities *Providers may participate in more than one disease area; the total reflects the number of unique ECHO-Chicago participants.

  9. 2013 Evaluation/Research Activities • Study of provider feedback on the effectiveness of ECHO model, results published in Progress in Community Health Partnerships • Analysis of provider survey data • baseline self-efficacy and knowledge surveys for hypertension and ADHD • pre- and post-series changes in ADHD provider surveys • Launch of study to measure impact of breast cancer survivor care curriculum • Preparing for analysis of Medicaid data on pre- and post-series changes in provider prescribing patterns

  10. Provider Feedback on the ECHO model Our study on the effectiveness of the ECHO model was based on in-depth interviews with nine providers who participated in ECHO-Chicago sessions. Providers identified the benefits of this case-based, iterative curriculum to: • Extend their current skills and knowledgein a way that is • convenient (no travel, discrete time commitment) • engaging in content (best practices) and format (didactic with case presentations) • Model best practice protocols for their patient population through preparation, presentation, and discussion of patient cases • Improve confidence to manage more complex patients without referring to subspecialists • Increase job satisfaction and motivate skills enhancement • Strengthen connections between University of Chicago subspecialists and community providers • Build a collaborative knowledge networkamong peers caring for similar patient populations

  11. Provider Needs Assessment: Hypertension and ADHD Analysis of baseline scores for knowledge and self-efficacy in hypertension and ADHD indicate the need for both training and support. *Hypertension knowledge test: 26 total ; ADHD knowledge test: 18 total

  12. Changes in ADHD Knowledge and Self-Efficacy We conducted a preliminary analysis of data from 23 providers who completed both the pre- and the post-series survey. The data show a small increase in knowledge, and a moderate increase in self-efficacy. On the 7-point scale, the 11% change points to an improvement from “slight knowledge, skills or competence” to “average among my peers”
