Accelerating Care Through ECHO: Case Examples from the Field

Mo Med. 2020 May-Jun;117(3):235-240.

Abstract

In this article, we describe three life-changing patient cases demonstrating high-quality and timely care they received in their communities, thanks to the Show-Me ECHO project. Early autism diagnosis, a potentially deadly tumor manifesting as a benign-looking rash, a recalcitrant case of hepatitis C: rural and underserved Missourians now have access to state-of-the-art care through their local providers receiving interdisciplinary telementoring on evidence based practices.
