Verified, High-quality CPR Competence is the New Standard of Care
In the United States, only 25% of patients survive an in-hospital cardiac arrest; just 10% survive out-of-hospital emergencies. High-quality CPR is the single highest determinant of survival from cardiac arrest. RQI methodology offers a new standard of care that shifts resuscitation practice from course completion to everyday competence. The RQI Program is grounded in the American Heart Association’s evidence-based science and educational principles.
Worldwide, cardiac arrest among hospitalized people of all ages is a high-risk event associated with significant disease and death. To address a growing need to improve the quality standards for responding to an in-hospital cardiac arrest, the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation has identified 10 steps that can lead to better patient outcomes and survival. These steps can be embedded in a system of care that includes: plans and preparations for IHCA, prevention of IHCA when avoidable, implementation of effective resuscitation education and training, the delivery of high-quality guidelines-based resuscitation care, and ongoing evaluation and adjustments for improvements within a culture of person-centered care.
