EHDI ECHO, An Interactive Web-based Discussion of EHDI Program Issues
EHDI-ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a video teleconferencing model used by CDC EHDI, bringing together state EHDI program partners and subject matter experts in a new type of technical assistance. During typical video teleconference sessions, one previously identified state EHDI program presents a “case” or public health challenge pertaining to EHDI, sharing their attempted solutions with other state programs participating in the video teleconference Each “case” is chosen based on feedback from state EHDI programs indicating challenges that they are working on to improve their tracking and surveillance capacity. An SME asks clarifying questions about the nature of the challenge and offers suggestions for addressing those issues. Participating state EHDI programs share their experiences, including solutions that have worked for them. The session then closes with a short didactic presentation by the SME on the topic addressed by the case presentation. A CDC EHDI moderator coordinates the session, encouraging participation. The shared Webcam video connections with each participant add personal immediacy, encouraging contributions and networking. After the initial session in September of 2018, the ECHO schedule includes sessions in October and November and monthly in 2019. The ECHO Project is a collaborative model of care management originally developed by the University Of New Mexico School of Medicine to increase the capacity of providers in underserved areas. Current and previous implementation of the ECHO model has shown a dramatic increase in the capacity of providers in underserved populations with difficult to manage cases. The CDC-EHDI program is assessing the impact of the ECHO Project to help state and territorial programs strengthen their capacity for tracking and surveillance to ensure children with hearing loss reach their age-appropriate milestones. The presentation will show how state EHDI programs can use the ECHO model to support their work.
