Patient Navigator Resources ECHO Learning Community, Sept. 16

“This summer the Patient Navigator Training Collaborative launched Project ECHO with Patient Navigation. Join them on September 16, 8-9am for the final Patient Resources installment to see what it’s all about! You can participate in the live video via ZOOM, by phone (Dial: 1-415-726-9988 or 1-646-568-7788; Meeting ID: 112 358 541), or in-person (Building 406 2nd floor, Center for Public Health Practice, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, 12477 E. 19th Avenue, Aurora, CO 80045). A new series will relaunch in October with the topic focus of Health Promotion.

The ECHO for Patient Navigators focused on increasing patient navigator’s knowledge and skills in topics of interest. During ECHO sessions, topic experts present brief trainings on current best practice strategies and patient navigators present cases on the application of those strategies in their practice using bi-directional video. ECHO Colorado topic experts and other participants discuss cases and recommendations are made regarding next steps. Patient navigators may bring the same cases back for ongoing decision making support.

If you would like to present your experience please send a completed case form to Andi Dwyer andrea.dwyer@ucdenver.edu. The purpose of case presentations are to review and discuss cases and provide a guided peer discussion and recommendations.” [Source: Patient Navigator Training Collaborative]
