RQI® and HeartCode® are Now HLC Validated

Posted on March 22, 2019March 22, 2019 by Britt Ervin

At the start of 2019, the American Heart Association and Laerdal Medical agreement with HealthStream became effective. This agreement provides HealthStream customers with access to the AHA and Laerdal co-developed Resuscitation Quality Improvement^® program and range of HeartCode^® BLS, ACLS and PALS eLearning programs on HealthStream’s Learning Center™ (HLC).

Today, we announce that the RQI^® and HeartCode^® resuscitation solutions are HLC-validated, meaning they meet the standards for high-quality delivery and integration with the HealthStream Learning Center. As a result of this HLC Validation, authorized users of both HealthStream and the RQI portfolio of programs may gain access to RQI programs, namely RQI and HeartCode, through the HLC.

Because we are committed to providing equitable and reliable access to our resuscitation program portfolio, RQI Partners have entered into agreements with several learning management platform organizations. With these new partnerships, we will further the reach of our competence-based resuscitation programs to equip providers with the competence to perform high-quality, lifesaving CPR on every patient and to improve operational performance in hospitals across the U.S.
