Telementoring Intervention (ECHO) for the Transformation of Professional Engagement, Practice Efficiency, and Community Building Through Team Meetings in Diagnostic Imaging Clinicians (NCT04196972)

Transforming Professional Engagement, Practice Efficiency, and Community Building Through Team Meetings in a Telementoring Environment

🔵 Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic 📋 Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This trial studies how well the Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) telementoring intervention works in transforming professional engagement, practice efficiency, and community building through team meetings in diagnostic imaging clinicians. This study may help researchers learn more about the potential benefits of a model for team meetings aimed at bringing physicians together from multiple practice locations when few opportunities exist for meaningful, collegial interactions. It may also help diagnostic imaging clinicians engage more effectively with colleagues at distant sites and become more engaged with their work.
