Team-based Care Coordination

Well-implemented team-based care has the potential to improve the

comprehensiveness, coordination, efficiency, effectiveness, and

value of care, as well as the satisfaction of patients and providers

Care coordination is a set of shared strategies for preventing and managing chronic conditions to improve health, quality of care, and cost outcomes. This free six-week ECHO learning series is designed to help non-licensed care coordinators, patient navigators, and community health workers better understand, communicate, and work at the top of their scope. Each session will introduce, build upon, and hone relevant skills for effective team-based care coordination for non-licensed staff working with patients.

This series is offered in partnership with the Patient Navigator Training Collaborative (PNTC) and the Rocky Mountain Public Health Training Center (RMPHTC).

PNTC and ECHO Colorado are partnering on a study to evaluate how our trainings improve team-based care coordination skills. This project is designed to learn more about the effectiveness of these trainings in increasing self-efficacy, knowledge, attitudes, and skills related to team-based care coordination among participants. It is recommended, but not a requirement, that individuals participate in the PNTC course (cost associated) before the ECHO learning series (free of charge).

PNTC may be able to offer a full scholarship for the online PNTC course. Please visit the PNTC website for details.

Participation in the study will help you prepare if you plan to take the State of Colorado's Health Navigator Competency Assessment.
