Emerging research into how knowledge is shared and developed within Project ECHO is key to understanding how technology-enabled education can effectively facilitate the dissemination of expertise, particularly in healthcare settings where specialists can reach a wider audience and support remote practitioners in managing complex cases, ultimately improving patient care across geographically diverse areas.

The data reflect "an implied awareness of dynamics of power and a desire to counter such dynamics," according to the study authors. "This is visible in the desire to mitigate a hierarchical differentiation between participants by using teaching and learning theories, a pedagogical design and processes of interaction that favour participation, and by using technology that allows participants to join from across vast geography."
