Clinics & Health Systems


Bring specialty expertise closer to the point of care

Give your clinicians better access to the knowledge and support they need to care for patients, without requiring every patient to see a specialist.

The Care Collaborative partners with clinics and health systems across Colorado to integrate specialty expertise into everyday care. Through eConsults, ECHO and collaborative research initiatives, we help organizations strengthen clinical teams, improve access to specialty knowledge and build capacity to care for more patients locally.

Extend the expertise of your clinical teams

Healthcare organizations face a difficult challenge: patient needs are growing while specialty access and workforce capacity remain limited.

The Care Collaborative helps bridge that gap by connecting frontline clinicians with specialty expertise. Our programs are designed to complement existing care delivery, giving providers new ways to get guidance, develop their knowledge and make informed decisions closer to where patients receive care.

Access specialty guidance

eConsults connect primary care clinicians with specialists for timely, asynchronous clinical guidance. Providers can get input on diagnosis, treatment and next steps while helping patients avoid unnecessary referrals, travel and delays in care.

Build clinical knowledge and capacity

ECHO connects multidisciplinary experts with healthcare professionals through interactive, case-based learning. Organizations can strengthen workforce knowledge and build greater capacity to manage complex conditions locally.
