Cardi-OH has partnered with Project ECHO® to increase the capacity of primary care physicians to safely and effectively treat cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Enrollment is open for physicians interested in improving increased efficiency and joy of practice.
Cardi-OH ECHO uses a combination of multi-point videoconferencing technology, case-based learning, promotion of best practices, and the monitoring of outcomes to create and support professional communities of learning and practice. Through innovative tele-mentoring, the ECHO model uses a hub-and-spoke knowledge-sharing approach where expert teams lead virtual clinics, amplifying the capacity for providers to deliver best-in-practice care to the underserved in their own communities.
