How do high-performing healthcare teams prepare for the most critical moments in care?
In the Heart of Care—presented by RQI Partners—is a podcast for frontline healthcare professionals, nurse educators, and clinical leaders committed to resuscitation training, improving patient outcomes, and building a culture of continuous readiness.
Hosted by Dr. Ash Panchal, emergency physician, educator, and national expert in resuscitation science— each episode explores the systems, strategies, and mindset shifts that help healthcare teams perform under pressure. From high-stakes code events to everyday training challenges, guests share real stories and practical tools to strengthen clinical performance, communication, and team confidence.
This podcast goes beyond theory to spotlight what true preparedness looks like in real-world care environments, because in healthcare, readiness isn’t optional. It’s a shared responsibility and a path to better outcomes for every patient, every time.
