Health Care Transition Learning Collaborative
What is the Health Care Transition Learning Collaborative (HCT LC)?
Using the Project ECHO Framework, we will host a total of eight virtual ECHO learning opportunities and multidisciplinary discussions, culminating in an education summit in June 2024. The learning series will offer participants valuable insights into enhancing their clinics, hospitals, programs, and overall state practices related to pediatric to adult healthcare transition.
What is the goal of the Health Care Transition Learning Cooperative?
Transforming Pediatric to Adult Healthcare Transition in Minnesota
The Learning Collaborative seeks to bring together a multidisciplinary group of persons to learn about aspects of healthcare transition and work through real-time transition cases together with a focus on sharing resources and ideas across disciplines utilizing health equity and trauma-informed principles.
Participants will leave the sessions with tangible skills and resources to put into use that day.
How do I participate in the Learning Collaborative?
The HCT LC will leverage the innovative Project ECHO learning model, an “all teach, all learn” approach that brings together young adults, parents, clinicians, payers, advocacy groups, and anyone interested in healthcare transitions throughout Minnesota. The learning series will offer participants valuable insights into enhancing their clinics, hospitals, programs, and overall state practices related to pediatric to adult healthcare transition.
A total of eight 60-minute sessions, held from 12:15 p.m. to 1:15 p.m., will begin Oct 9, 2023, and continue through June 2024. Each 60-minute session includes a 20-minute didactic discussion around a session-specific topic, followed by a 5-10 minute case presentation and a 20-minute case discussion. The series will offer participants valuable insights enhancing their clinics, hospitals, programs, and overall state practices related to pediatric to adult healthcare transition.
The HCT LC will culminate in a hybrid transition educational conference in June 2024. This event will bring together leading experts, stakeholders, healthcare professionals, and other interested individuals to share best practices, exchange knowledge and drive further advancements in the field of healthcare transition for children and youth with special health needs.
What is Project ECHO?
Project ECHO is a guided-practice model that reduces health disparities in under-served and remote areas of the state, nation, and world. Through innovative telementoring, the ECHO model uses a hub-and-spoke knowledge-sharing approach. Expert teams lead virtual clinics, amplifying the capacity for providers to deliver best-in-practice care to the underserved in their own communities.
