Health promotion is the process of supporting people to increase control over, and to improve, their health. It moves beyond a focus on individual behavior towards a wide range of social and environmental interventions. This series will provide information and case study support from national subject matter experts in health promotion.

Sessions will include: What is Health Promotion, Assessing Patient Readiness, Tracking Multiple Health Conditions, Resources for Health Promotion, Making Information Relevant, Using Self-Monitoring Tools, Dealing with Patient Perceptions.

ECHO Learning Community: The ECHO participants include the subject matter expert team (hub) and community healthcare workers (spokes). During ECHO sessions, a didactic is given by the subject matter expert team. Community healthcare workers then present cases using video conferencing equipment. Participants discuss the cases and recommendations are given. By using bi-directional video conferencing, a unique peer learning community is created.” [Source: Patient Navigator Training Collaborative]
