Bringing Science to Life: Introducing the New AHA Digital Resuscitation Portfolio
If you still have questions following the release of the new 2020 AHA Guidelines, we encourage you to submit them to us through our dedicated Q&A page. Click here.
Discover the American Heart Association’s all-new digital resuscitation portfolio
​The digital portfolio includes a low-dose, high-frequency approach to mastery learning and practice that provides repetition for the consolidation of knowledge and skill into long-term memory vs a one-time massed training that we all know through research can lead to the decay of knowledge and skill.
- We’ve integrated True AdaptiveTM learning algorithm to identify each learner’s proficiency and tailor education to their level of expertise.
- All programs feature Contextual learning that orients a learner to their specific scope of practice, preparing them for a real-world application of education.
- All activities include Feedback and Debriefing that is real-time, objective, and targeted to a specific learner, allowing them to alter and improve upon skills and sustain optimal performance both during and post the learning event. ​
- All courses feature the design of continuous Assessment to consistently validate a learner’s ability to demonstrate the mastery of learning, making sure they are ready and will significantly contribute to clinical outcomes.  ​
All of these enhancements are bringing education efficiency to life within our resuscitation education programs.

Science In-Service elearning Course
- Highlights of science and guidelines recommendations that are most significant or those that will result in changes to resuscitation practice and protocols. This solution will allow healthcare organizations and EMS services to rapidly update their providers and offer the best patient care. The Science In-Service is offered at no charge to RQI and HeartCode organizations participating through our RQI 1Stop digital platform.
With the full 2020 Guidelines release, the AHA will issue courses and materials redesigned to reflect the latest learning principles, that not only include new and updated science, but also incorporate guidelines from the AHA Resuscitation Education Statement released in 2018.
