iECHO streamlines the management of your ECHO sessions by providing two convenient scheduling options when creating a participant group:

• Repeating (Fixed Schedule): Sessions that occur on a consistent, regular basis, such as weekly or monthly.
• Ad-hoc (No Fixed Schedule): Sessions that are scheduled on an ad-hoc basis, allowing for flexibility and spontaneity.

Here’s how you can create schedule in a a participant group depending on your program:

iECHO enables Hubs to schedule repeating sessions while creating a Participant Group.

• Start date: The date of the first planned ECHO session of the Participant Group.
• End date: The date of the last planned ECHO session of the Participant Group.

• End date can only be 3 years ahead of start date
