About Project ECHO
- Project ECHO Model™ utilizes a “hub and spoke” structure to expand the role of specialty care.
- “Hub” teams are providers with specialist knowledge within the chosen subject. “Spoke” sites connect to a corresponding hub to strengthen expertise.
- Sessions consist of brief didactic led by our specialist team while cases are presented by participating facilities.
- Check out our first Project ECHO®: Reducing Opioid use through Pain-Management Education (ROPE) to learn how Healthcentric Advisors is applying this model to other topics.
