Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI)

Maximizing lifesaving outcomes

 

RQI programs provides a high-reliability platform for simulation-based mastery learning, implemented through low-dose, high-frequency quality improvement sessions that measure and verify competence, to help healthcare providers retain life-saving skills.

RQI verified CPR competence is the higher standard of care, demonstrated to improve clinical care delivery and to increase survival from sudden cardiac arrest.

Panchal et al, Resuscitation, 2019

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.
