RQI (Resuscitation Quality Improvement)
What is RQI? RQI changes the way healthcare workers participate in CPR training. Studies have shown that healthcare workers continue to perform compressions that are not at optimal rate and depth, which could impact patient outcomes. RQI takes CPR practice to the next level with simulation stations that provide real-time feedback and assessment.
RQI training uses simulation technology to monitor psychomotor skills and report metrics to determine their efficacy as participants practice them. During the course’s skills training and assessment portion, participants receive real-time audio and visual feedback to track their performance and help them perfect their skills through practice.
