Project (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) (ECHO) is a telemedicine case-based training model for primary care providers to treat complex diseases by mentoring academicians of universities. It was first developed by the University of New Mexico for rural and underserved areas in New Mexico. The project Show Me ECHO- Hepatitis C (HCV) is an adaptation of Project ECHO to improve healthcare and hepatitis C therapy in the entire state of Missouri, including rural and underserved areas. Show Me ECHO- HCV uses telemedicine as videoconferencing technology for the case-based learning. The medical specialists of the University of Missouri-Columbia provide training and mentoring to primary care providers working in rural and urban underserved areas to deliver the best evidence-based care for patients with hepatitis C. This type of a model is promising in the management of patients with hepatitis C in developing countries with the availability of basic internet connections and potential voluntary participants.
社区医疗成果拓展项目（ECHO）是一种基于远程医疗案例的培训模式，旨在通过指导大学学者，帮助初级保健提供者治疗复杂疾病。该项目最初由新墨西哥大学为新墨西哥州的农村和医疗服务不足地区开发。“密苏里ECHO-丙型肝炎（HCV）项目”是对ECHO项目的一种改编，旨在改善密苏里州全州（包括农村和医疗服务不足地区）的医疗保健和丙型肝炎治疗。“密苏里ECHO-丙型肝炎项目”将远程医疗用作基于案例学习的视频会议技术。密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校的医学专家为在农村和城市医疗服务不足地区工作的初级保健提供者提供培训和指导，以便为丙型肝炎患者提供最佳的循证护理。在具备基本互联网连接且有潜在自愿参与者的发展中国家，这种模式在丙型肝炎患者管理方面颇具前景。
