Bridging the Knowledge Gap in Home and Primary Health Care
Launching in Fall 2024, the Project ECHO Integrated Seniors Care (ISC) initiative aims to enhance the competencies of home care and primary health care providers to meet the holistic and diverse needs of seniors with complex chronic conditions in the home and community settings. This ECHO stream focuses on the skills and knowledge needed to provide an integrated multidisciplinary approach to complex care delivery in rural, remote and urban settings.
What Gaps Will Project ECHO ISC Address?
The Project ECHO ISC will address significant challenges in senior care:
Specialized Knowledge and Expertise
Many healthcare providers lack access to expertise and experience, especially when caring for people with complex chronic conditions.
Geographical Isolation
Providers in remote or underserved areas often face barriers to continuous professional development and networking.
Continuous Professional Development
Ongoing education and skill enhancement are essential when delivering integrated complex care in the home and community.
Through this capacity-building initiative, seniors with complex chronic conditions will benefit from the expertise of specialists who share their knowledge with home and primary care providers, leading to better care and health outcomes.
