Video Summary

Dr. Sanjeev Arora discussed the importance of new care models like ECHO and telemedicine in improving access to healthcare, specifically focusing on hepatitis C treatment. He highlighted the role of ECHO in training primary care clinicians to become specialists in various diseases through case-based learning and iterative guided practice. By leveraging technology and creating networks of experts, ECHO has successfully expanded access to care and improved patient outcomes. Telemedicine, on the other hand, has shown promise in reaching marginalized populations and providing effective care closer to where patients live. Dr. Arora emphasized the need to integrate care for substance use with hepatitis C treatment and underscored the importance of building linkages to treatment to ensure the success of screening programs.
