In partnership with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and the University of New Mexico Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Options), the Oklahoma Dementia Care Network is pleased to to be a host institution for Project ECHO in Oklahoma.
The national model for Project ECHO uses a hub-and-spoke telementoring model to move knowledge, instead of people. Through participation in weekly virtual clinics with teams of specialist mentors, healthcare professionals in rural and underserved areas acquire the expertise they need to treat patient with complex health problems.
Oklahoma Dementia Care Network's Project ECHO specifically ffocuses on age-friendly nursing home topics. These sessions will help caregivers gain important skills and capabilities designed to improve care for Oklahomans living with memory disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
Through our Project ECHO, we provide a collaborative model of virtual education for health professionals that empowers nursing home team members, especially in rural communities, to provide specialty geriatric care to more people, right where they live.
The format of an ECHO is a clinical case presentation by a nursing home team member followed by a 15-minute informational presentation delivered by the ECHO Hub Team.
Training nursing homes through HIPPA-compliant, technology-enabled collaborative learning.
There is no cost to join an ECHO session. Free NAB credits for nursing home administrators.
Our first Age-Friendly ECHO series began in October 2021, and our second series is scheduled to begin January 19, 2022. Dates and topics can be found here. Previous series resources are still available to view and download.
Through the National Nursing Home COVID-19 Action Network (NHCAN), Oklahoma
Dementia Care Network offered a limited-time opportunity for Oklahoma’s
nursing homes to receive funding for educational programs that help prepare
for, prevent and respond to COVID-19. This ECHO concluded in Fall 2021, but
session information resources are still available to view and download.
