Nursing Home ECHO
Each of our Age-Friendly ECHO sessions are devoted to case presentations by a community support professional team member, followed by a 25-minute informational presentation delivered by a guest speaker and a 15–minute QI by the ECHO Hub Team. We will focus on the 4Ms of age-friendly care: What Matters Most, Medications, Mentation and Mobility. When implemented together, the 4Ms represent a commitment to focus on the unique needs of older adults. The ECHO Hub Team will also provide community-based resources to improve the care of older adults.
