What is the goal of STORM TeleECHO?
How does STORM TeleECHO work?
What are the benefits of participating in STORM TeleECHO?
Professional Development: Providers acquire new skills and competencies for managing patients with sickle cell disease as part of a community of learners, thereby increasing professional satisfaction and decreasing feelings of isolation.
Continued Learning: Providers gain access to continued learning (no-cost CME, CNE and MOC credits) and specialist (e.g. hematologists, psychologists, pharmacists, etc.) consultations during the teleECHO clinics. Participants become part of a knowledge network, focused on evidence-based care for patients with SCD, and the sharing of best-practices.
Increased Efficiency: Providers may see more patients with sickle cell disease and utilize evidence-based strategies to improve overall care and outcomes. This standardization of 'best practices' also strengthens the health system as a whole.
What technology is needed to participate?
In order to maximize participation in the video technology of STORM TeleECHO, internet connection and microphone are needed and a webcam is preferred.
How is the STORM TeleECHO clinic structured?
Each month there is a 15-20 minute didactic presentation about evidence-based best practices for the management and treatment of SCD. There are also 1-2 de-identified case based discussions.
Who can submit case presentations?
All providers registered for STORM TeleECHO may submit pediatric and adult cases to present during the STORM TeleECHO clinic. This allows for real-time discussion and feedback from sickle cell specialists and other providers.
