Engage, Empower, Treat: A Behavioral Health ECHO Learning Series

AmeriHealth Caritas Ohio, in collaboration with Project ECHO, is excited to launch Engage, Empower, Treat: A Behavioral Health ECHO series — an emerging case-based learning model for practitioners. Continuing education for providers who participate in this series will be applied for through Arizona State University, for physicians and nurses, and the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist (CSWMFT) Board for social workers, licensed professional counselors, and marriage and family therapists. This opportunity doesn’t cost anything for participating AmeriHealth Caritas Ohio practitioners. Please read on for more information and register to join this ECHO model clinic.

The Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) model was developed by the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center and is now used nationwide and internationally. To sign up for the virtual ECHO series, please email [email protected]. Further registration instructions will be emailed to you.

What is the ECHO model?
The ECHO model facilitates case-based learning for front-line practitioners via teleconferencing clinics. Similar to virtual chart
rounds, the ECHO model creates a space where practitioners can share knowledge and build support to better manage patients with complex care needs.

• Provide education to increase screening and treatment of behavioral health disorders among members in physical health settings.
