About this study

The study will utilize pre-post survey measures to evaluate Project ECHO for ILD with respect to an initial set of practice and clinical outcomes and relies on questionnaire data obtained from providers participating in Project ECHO for ILD at baseline, at 6 months, and at study end.

Read the detailed description

Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a knowledge-sharing model to expand the capacity of the health care workforce so that more people can get high quality care for their health conditions in or near the communities where they live. The model brings specialty disease expertise to community providers through its hub-and-spoke networks. The model relies on videoconferencing to connect local providers in non-urban or underserved communities (spoke sites) with an interdisciplinary team of specialist providers at academic medical centers (hubs) during virtual "teleECHO" clinic sessions, which include brief educational lectures and case-based, experiential learning. It is a guided, technology-enabled collaborative practice model in which community providers become experts in an area of community need within the scope of their practice, operating with increasing independence as their skills and self-efficacy grow. The model establishes meaningful, ongoing relationships with hub specialists who serve as telementors for spoke providers and relies on case-based learning from presentations of real-world de-identified patient cases.

The overarching goal of the project is to implement and evaluate an adaptation of the ECHO model to interstitial lung disease (ILD) diagnosis and care among primary care physicians (PCPs) and community pulmonologists in non-urban or underserved communities.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Impact on procedural knowledge

    Change in participants' skills or competence in knowing ILD testing and treatment procedures based on a Likert scale rating (1=no skill and 7=expert, teach other) included in the structured participant surveys administered at baseline, 6 months, and at study end.

    Measured: Up to 18 months

  2. Impact on local care utilization

    Change of proportion of patients utilizing local ILD care services, including the frequency of local follow-up visits and testing. Change in scores will be calculated between structured participant surveys responses at baseline, 6 months, and at study end.

    Measured: Up to 18 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Time to ILD diagnosis

    The amount of time it takes for a participant's patient to be given an established, named ILD diagnosis (IPAF, IPF, HP, CTD-ILD, myositis-ILD, idiopathic NSIP, etc.) from onset of respiratory symptoms and from the time of first pulmonologist appointment. This data will be obtained from teleECHO clinic management records and participants' case and follow-up reporting for patients who were presented to the ECHO for diagnosis.

    Measured: Up to 18 months

  2. Content expert facilitation

    Proportion of participants who agree that the quality of content expert facilitation was adequate during the teleECHO session. This will be collected monthly from post-session surveys via a Likert scale (1=strongly disagree and 5=strongly agree).

    Measured: Up to 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Interstitial Lung Diseases, run by Pulmonary Care and Research Collaborative Limited at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Impact on procedural knowledge (time frame: Up to 18 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Jul 2022.
