We are excited to announce a new ECHO™ opportunity starting in May to support telehealth delivery in NH!   In a matter of days NH health and social service providers pivoted care to telehealth delivery.  This new four-session ECHO series entitled, Telehealth for Special Populations During COVID-19 and Beyond, seeks to enhance provider capacity in using telehealth delivery to meet the needs of older adults, pediatric populations, and persons with substance use disorder with complicating social determinants of health.  This opportunity is being offered through a partnership of the UNH Institute for Health Policy and Practice, New Hampshire Citizens Health Initiative, the UNH Center for Telehealth Practice, and the U Department of Nursing.  

Project ECHO® (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is an evidence-based method developed by researchers at the University of New Mexico. During teleECHO™ sessions, interdisciplinary experts mentor and share their expertise across a virtual network via case-based learning, enabling community providers to serve the next of individuals with complex conditions in their own communities. This ECHO™ seeks to support not only primary care but behavioral health and social service organizations with the use of telepractice to meet patient/client needs. 

The four-session series will be bi-weekly during the months of May and June on Wednesdays from 12:00-1:30. The sessions will take place on May 13th, May 27th, June 10th, and June 24th.
