ECHO Idaho Promotes Behavioral 健康 Education
关于 80 percent of family doctors’ patients will have some sort of psychological or psychiatric condition, 据安德鲁·巴伦说, MD.
“你不能忽视它. 它在那里。. They’re your patient, so let’s figure out how we can help this patient,” he said. “In the public, mental health is everyw在这里. T在这里 are very few families that have not been touched by some sort of mental health or substance abuse disorder. 它影响着我们所有人.”
Baron is the chief medical officer at Terry Reilly 健康 服务, and an active member of 项目的回声 Idaho.
He said 项目的回声 Idaho is a chance for healthcare providers across the state to honor their Hippocratic oath, and in his own community health center he encourages all his physicians to participate. Through continued medical education, these providers improve the care patients in Idaho are going to receive.
And it’s convenient to participate.
“I look forward to participating in 项目的回声. 我坐下. 我吃我的午餐. 我打开电脑. I see everyone’s face on the screen in the room w在这里 the facilitators are and w在这里 we do a didactic session, and we learn about a particular issue or condition. Then we do case discussions,” Baron said.
For Baron, it provides an outlet to discuss complicated cases w在这里 he’s not sure what to do next. 在安全的环境下, he and others around the state have the opportunity to discuss the appropriate course of action for real-world conditions.
But it’s more than an opportunity for medical education; it’s ultimately a support network by doctors for patients.
