Secure Your Spot in new ECHO Series on Identifying Community Clinical Linkages to Deliver Dementia and Age-Friendly Care
About The Program
ECHO® is a virtual learning community offered at no cost. Participants may also be eligible for a $250.00 incentive payment. This all-teach, all-learn model includes a brief presentation from a subject-matter expert followed by a case study to elicit discussion and recommendations. Participants exchange information, experiences, cases, and ideas and receive feedback from other participants and the multidisciplinary hub team of content experts.
The program will focus on strategies to improve care for older adults with dementia based on the 4M framework: What Matters Most, Medications, Mentation, and Mobility. These strategies will help primary care practices and other organizations deliver care aligned with the friendly approach. Participants will collaborate and engage in ongoing learning.
