Heartcode Complete Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support is a competency-based training program developed by the American Heart Association (AHA) in collaboration with Laerdal Medical. The program is designed to help healthcare professionals maintain mastery of advanced resuscitation skills through a low-dose, high-frequency learning model rather than traditional episodic classroom training.
RQI ACLS combines online cognitive learning with hands-on psychomotor skills assessment using high-fidelity simulation and real-time performance feedback. The program emphasizes consistent delivery of high-quality CPR, effective team dynamics, rapid rhythm recognition, appropriate pharmacological intervention, advanced airway management, and adherence to current AHA ACLS algorithms.
RQI ACLS is commonly implemented in hospitals and clinical settings to support continuous competency verification, improve resuscitation outcomes, and ensure compliance with AHA ACLS standards through ongoing skills reinforcement rather than infrequent recertification events.
