In partnership with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), Project ECHO is mobilizing our national network of ECHO partners to rapidly deploy COVID-19 ECHO programs to train mentor, and support nursing home staff on infection prevention and control. With support from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the ECHO Institute will provide training, mentorship, and support to nursing home staff on infection prevention and control to an estimated 15,000 nursing homes across the country.
This initiative will kick off with our Nursing Home Best Practices During the COVID-19 Pandemic mini-series, with three interactive TeleECHO sessions:
Tuesday, August 25, 2020: Optimizing Clinical Care in the Time of COVID in Skilled Nursing Home Facilities

I did not receive the survey to fill out after the webinar yesterday
Hi Tammie—this webinar series is not hosted by SimpleLTC, so you’ll need to contact the organizers, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) or Project ECHO, for questions about the webinar series.
Please let me know when the 16 Echo seminars begin. I haven’t received any information on them.
Thank you. Maryanne LaVigne
