Dementia ECHO aims to improve the skills of providers around the diagnosis, treatment and support of people with memory loss and dementia via a twice-monthly telehealth clinic. Dementia ECHO is attended by a multidisciplinary panel of experts, and medical providers whose patients reside in Washington State. At each session a member of the panel, or a guest presenter will deliver a 15-20 minute didactic. For the next 45 minutes to an hour, the group will review cases presented in advance by the learners. The didactics presented at each bi-monthly session will align with Best Practices around Diagnosis, Ongoing Care Support/Management, Advance Care Planning and Palliative Care, Need for Increased Support and/or Higher Levels of Care, Preparing for Potential Hospitalization and Screening for Delirium; these best practices are outlined in the BREE Report. The primary purpose of Dementia ECHO is to increase knowledge and understanding of person-centered quality dementia care in the following areas: 1. Early Detection, Risk Reduction and Prevention Approaches for Providers 2. Person-Centered Assessment and Care Planning 3. Co-Morbidities, Medical Management and Deprescribing for Providers 4. Skills, Education and Support Needs of Persons Living with Dementia and Caregivers 5. Evidence-Based Non-pharmacological Practices, De-escalation strategies and Caregiver Uplift Practices 6. Progressive Support for Activities of Daily Living 7. Building, Scaling and Supporting the Workforce 8. Growing Supportive and Therapeutic Environments 9.
