2013 Annual Meeting Year in Review

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

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”
