TBI-BH ECHO is an innovative educational outreach strategy for psychiatrists and primary care providers throughout Washington (and beyond) through a 1.5 hour long twice-monthly telemedicine educational program and case consultation series with UW Psychiatry and Rehabilitation Medicine experts. The objective is to offer a didactic curriculum focused on best practices for management of behavioral health problems in patients with TBI, including management of PTSD, depression, anxiety, irritability, impulsivity, anger/aggression, substance misuse, sleep disturbance, and cognitive impairment. The goal is to improve community clinicians’ capacity to deliver compassionate, measurement/outcome determined and evidence-based care for TBI patients, and to increase their knowledge base and capacity to treat patients especially with associated behavioral health issues. Each session is comprised of a didactic on fundamental principles and evidence for best practices, followed by presentations of challenging cases. Written recommendations are sent to each presenting provider at the conclusion of the conference.
