SCLTC RISE Resources

Project ECHO at Penn State College of Medicine launched the Long-Term Care RISE series on March 3, 2022, with weekly sessions taking place on Thursdays from 1-2 p.m. This series seeks to empower facility administration and staff to improve health outcomes for residents facing challenges related to age-friendly care. Care for older adults can become more complex and they risk suffering harm while in long-term care. Providing a reliable system to train staff in caring for older patients has important implications for individuals and is a critical need.

The Long-Term Care RISE ECHO provides an innovative and evidence-based approach to increasing high-quality care for residents by bringing together specialists and non-specialists to improve care for residents in the communities where they live.
