Doctor using RQI Station

Experts agree—small imperfections in CPR are harmful to patients, and skills can decay as soon as three months after training.

Resuscitation Quality Improvement® (RQI®) programs utilize the latest science to help healthcare providers improve competence and confidence in their CPR skills so that when the time comes, they can provide the highest level of life-saving patient care.

RQI programs are available globally for the following American Heart Association disciplines: Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Life Support (ALS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS).

Skills Decay

Research shows that CPR skills can begin to deteriorate just three to six months after training. The RQI programs follow the latest science to deliver cognitive learning and skills training in a shorter, more frequent format to reduce skills decay.
