ECHO-Chicago: Urinary Incontinence

September 27, 2023 to November 15, 2023
Elevate your urinary incontiance care with ECHO-Chicago!
 
Urinary incontinence (UI) affects over 50% of women. Its prevalence increases with age rendering up to 75% of women over the age of 65 with some degree of UI. Approximately 50% of women with UI experience daily symptoms and an additional 30% of women have symptoms at least weekly. UI adversely affects the physical, psychological, and social well-being of millions.
 
Non-surgical treatment, including behavioral interventions or pharmacotherapy, is usually effective, but recognition in healthcare settings and evidence-based care for this condition remains suboptimal. Only half of the estimated 40% of Medicare beneficiaries with UI who have spoken to a physician receive treatment. Treatment in primary care, with system support and availability of specialty care, has great potential. Unfortunately, a variety of patient-, provider, and system-level barriers result in underdiagnosis and suboptimal management.
 
ECHO-Chicago, in partnership with UI specialists and primary care physicians from University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center Urology Institute, has created this series to increase the workforce capacity of nurse navigators and primary care physicians working with medically complex individuals with urinary incontinence. These eight one-hour-long sessions will be facilitated by a team of subject matter experts and consist of twenty to thirty minute didactic presentations, followed by participant-led case presentations (new and follow-up cases). This structure, modeled after medical rounds, allows participants to apply the knowledge gained and openly discuss the real-world challenges of implementing recommended best practices. Through these discussions, the series facilitators and participants draw on their own experiences to support each other and share strategies they have found successful in navigating barriers.
 
The goal of this activity is to increase the workforce capacity of nurse navigators and primary care physicians working with medically complex individuals with urinary incontinence.
