Philips offers tools for resuscitation quality improvement designed to help resuscitation teams save more lives
The AHA 2005 Guidelines state, “Processes for continuous quality improvement are essential for the success of out-of-hospital and in-hospital resuscitation programs." Philips provides a comprehensive resuscitation quality improvement solution designed to help teams reach their full potential for saving more lives. We are committed to helping you systematically improve your rescues.
HeartStart Event Review Pro 4.1 with Q-CPR™ addresses every element of disciplined emergency response—real-time data capture, documentation, debriefing and analysis.
The story of a code in one powerful display
With HeartStart Event Review Pro, you get the full clinical context of the event and the tools to help you see through to the “teachable moments.”
Event Review Pro offers many ways to review, annotate, share and report on the data:
- Time line with narrative
- Vital sign trend (tabular or graphic)
- Macro view with zoom
Reporting for training and quality improvement
Event Review Pro makes it easier than ever to generate, customize, print and export a wide range of reports. Use reports to assess your responses and fine-tune your training.
Event Review Pro offers a wide range of reports, both at the case level and the institution level for retrospective quality analysis and improvement:
Case reports
12-lead ECG reports
Utstein reports
System response time summaries
Subset of data for submission to the NRCPR
Custom reporting with Crystal Reports
Case reports (printed or in .pdf format) can be added to the patient’s overall medical chart. They also include much of the data required for submission to the NRCPR. Individual case reports and institutional trend reports can be used to refine the training curriculum for responders and improve code response overall.
You can’t improve what you don’t measure
Recent studies and the 2005 AHA Guidelines highlight the importance of quality CPR. In fact, some studies indicate that poor quality CPR is no better for the patient than doing no CPR at all. You can't improve what you can't measure.
The HeartStart MRx offers the ability to capture Q-CPR data during resuscitation for later review. Q-CPR Technology by Laerdal is the only complete, integrated CPR real-time measurement and feedback solution designed to encourage rescuers to deliver CPR in accordance with AHA(/ERC) guidelines. Q-CPR, used in conjunction with Philips Event Review Pro 4.0, enables system-wide QA/QI and supports continuous CPR training. This breakthrough application provides a robust, insightful view of any resuscitation event, along with built-in, easy-to-use navigation to pinpoint areas in a specific patient’s code event for learning and improvement.
The data generated by Q-CPR and presented by the Q-CPR Review application, as part of Event Review Pro, provide the objective evidence required to reinforce effective techniques and motivate changes where needed. This retrospective review capability provided by Q-CPR is the cornerstone of a successful CPR quality improvement program.
