The Louisiana Provider to Provider Consultation Line (PPCL) is a no cost provider-to-provider telephone consultation and education program to help pediatric and perinatal health care providers address the behavioral and mental health needs of their patients.
The PPCL team will facilitate the TeleECHO series which functions like virtual grand rounds. During TeleECHO sessions, providers will present de-identified patient cases to expert teams who guide the learners through managing patients with complex conditions. Each session will provide mentorship through:
- case-based learning
- clinical discussion
- brief-focused didactic learning from each other's experiences to support knowledge in practice
Participation in TeleECHO sessions will provide opportunities for CMEs and continuing education for doctors, nurses, and social workers.
