Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: ECHO InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
10 FQHCs from the PMS health system will be randomized to the ECHO Intervention Arm. All healthcare team members in the intervention arm will attend ECHO program sessions, and the FQHCs are the primary subjects of the ECHO intervention. However, the investigators examine outcomes at both the level of the healthcare team and at the level of the patients who are empaneled to the healthcare team. Persons with DMMC cared for by the healthcare teams at the FQHC clinics are the patient population for this intervention.
Group II: ComparatorActive Control1 Intervention
10 FQHCs from the PMS health system will be randomized to the comparator arm which is usual care. Persons with DMMC cared for by the healthcare teams at the FQHC clinics are the patient population for this comparator arm.
