Innovative competency-based program for high-quality CPR and improved patient outcomes
Many healthcare providers do not perform CPR as a normal part of their daily practice, and some may rarely perform CPR after their bi-annual training. As CPR compression and ventilation skills degrade from lack of use and practice, so does the overall effectiveness of CPR. As the quality of CPR degrades, this can literally become a matter of life and death for your patients.
Fortunately, you don’t have to invest hours every day to improve and maintain your proficiency. Brief and regular practice in CPR – low-dose/high-frequency education – has been shown to lead to better skills. The American Heart Association’s Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI) Program is a groundbreaking new approach to maintaining competence in CPR.
RQI verified CPR competence is the higher standard of care, demonstrated to improve clinical care delivery and to increase survival from sudden cardiac arrest.
Verified & confident
Advancing CPR education
High-quality CPR RQI helps ensure your staff has the confidence and competence to perform high-quality CPR when it matters the most.
Low-dose, high-frequency Frequent but short refresher training sessions make it easier to fit training into your schedule while preventing skills decay.
Objective skills feedback Standardized skills training is completed on a Simulation Station featuring real-time, audiovisual directive feedback for high-quality CPR skills.
Safety and convenience
Leveraging digital learning technologies
Self-directed learning With real-time guidance from our software, healthcare professionals can conduct self-directed training at their own pace.
True Adaptive Learning Innovative algorithm adapts education in the RQI Prep course in real time to each learner’s level of expertise to deliver the most efficient learning path.
Anytime, anywhere, on any device Featuring responsive design, the eLearning portion can be accessed online anytime, anywhere on a variety of devices.
The ROI of RQI
Training that saves time, and money
Short training sessions at your convenience No more all-day-every-two-year-training-classes at an inconvenient location and costly travel budgets. Allow your healthcare providers to conduct 10-minute training sessions, on their floor of the hospital, when it suits them.
Reduced investments and maintenance The RQI subscription model reduces capital investments, lowers future maintenance costs, and provides support on anything from equipment to software.
Automated eCredential Certificates from RQI, available in the course language, are simple to administer and keep track of employee credentials.
Big results
Low-dose, high-frequency training is the foundation of the Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI) programs that measure and verify competence, to help healthcare providers retain life-saving skills.
The results speak for themselves:
On average, more than 97% of all RQI users remain compliant.
A study done by Mercy Health found that 82% of users felt they were more confident in their CPR skills after using RQI.
Healthcare institutions using RQI see a +20% increase in survival rates from cardiac arrest.
Organizations implementing RQI have seen savings in areas of instructors, missed shifts or substitutions, material costs, travel, turnover-related training costs, and CPR manikin and technology maintenance costs. Illinois Valley Community Hospital in the United States benefitted from a +47% annual cost reduction.

HeartCode Complete The AHA’s HeartCode Complete programs deliver consistent quality resuscitation training through a more flexible delivery method. By combining eLearning with self-directed hands-on skills sessions on a two-year training cycle, providers and administrators gain more control of their time, schedule, and resources.
HeartCode Online HeartCode Online is the self-directed eLearning component of the American Heart Association’s (AHA) blended learning courses that combine cognitive online learning with in-classroom, Instructor-led skills practice and testing.
"When we started the RQI program only 25% of our staff were able to perform chest compressions and ventilations at the required rate. Now we have more than 90% of staff exceeding the standard."
