Resuscitation Competence: An Algorithm for Saving Lives in Your Hospital

Many healthcare providers believe that because they have a CPR course completion card, they’re competent to perform quality CPR. However, studies prove that with traditional resuscitation training just once every two years, the psychomotor skills required to administer high-quality CPR significantly decay in as little as three months after training and continue to decline until the next training event. Most healthcare providers are not conscious of this skills decay and believe they perform high-quality CPR. Merely good CPR is not good enough to save lives.

High-quality CPR is the single highest determinant of survival from cardiac arrest. Join this webinar on September 10th at 1pm ET when Brian Eigel, Ph.D., COO of RQI Partners and former SVP of Emergency Cardiovascular Care Programs at the American Heart Association, will provide hospitals with a roadmap to implement a cost-effective, low-dose, high-frequency program that verifies CPR competence and achieves the new standard of care.

Learning Objectives:

• How to implement a program that verifies CPR competence to ensure that every cardiac arrest patient receives high-quality CPR every time

• Recognition of the important elements of effective resuscitation science and an efficient resuscitation education program that achieve lifesaving competence in high-quality CPR

• Steps to achieve and maintain organization-wide confidence and competence in high-quality CPR skills
