“A Connected Community”: Evaluating the Use of Project ECHO to Support the Implementation of an Evidence-Based Early Psychosis Care Model
This is the first published evaluation of using ECHO in supporting the implementation of a model of EPI care. Participation in ECHO was associated with high levels of clinician satisfaction, engagement, and self-efficacy. Qualitative data suggest that ECHO supported the development of a community of practice, learning, and practice change and may be a helpful tool to support future implementations of NAVIGATE.
