ECHO Diabetes FQHC

Sponsored by University of Florida

About this study

Extension for Community Health Outcomes Diabetes FQHC will provide tele-education to primary care providers (PCP) in Federally Qualified Health Centers in the U.S. using the "hub" and "spoke" training model established in the Project ECHO model. Participating FQHCs (called "spokes") will receive twice monthly tele-education sessions delivered by UF's "hub" team in a 6-month program. The program will be evaluated using pre/posttest provider-level surveys and center-level aggregate data in a stepped-wedge trial design with 3 cohorts of FQHCs. The primary outcomes are the proportion of people \>9% HbA1c and technology use (CGM and insulin pump).

We will implement a national ECHO Diabetes FQHC program by offering a 6-month tele-education intervention that includes: (1) a virtual orientation and onboarding for FQHCs (2) one-hour tele-ECHO sessions twice monthly with continuing medical education (CME) credits provided (3) real-time support with complex medical decision-making and (4) access to an online repository of diabetes resources for PCPs. The 'hub' team delivering the ECHO Diabetes FQHC program are a nationally recognized multidisciplinary team of adult and pediatric endocrinologists, a clinical health psychologist, Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (CDCES), a registered dietitian, a Certified Exercise Physiologist (CEP), a medical sociologist, PCPs, and health services researchers. We will evaluate the ECHO D…
