Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes): a new model for educating primary care providers about treatment of substance use disorders.
ECHO is a distance education model that connects specialists with numerous PCPs via simultaneous video link for the purpose of facilitating case-based learning. This article describes a teleECHO clinic that is focused on treatment of substance use disorders (SUDs) and behavioral health disorders. It concluded that the ECHO model can promote expansion of access to treatment for opioid use disorder and other SUDs, particularly in underserved areas.

Electronic psychiatric consultation in primary care in the safety net.
The authors examined the feasibility and acceptability of implementing a psychiatric eReferral program in a publicly funded, community-based primary care clinic in San Francisco staffed by eight primary care practitioners (PCPs). They found feasibility and acceptability of implementing an integrated electronic psychiatry consultation and referral service in a community-based primary care clinic and recommended future trials designed to examine the impact of this type of service on the delivery of high-quality mental health care and its cost-effectiveness in a safety-net health care system.
