The document provides an update on training networks and strategies to increase survival rates from cardiac arrest. It outlines goals to double out-of-hospital CPR response rates and improve the quality of CPR delivered. Action strategies include improving data collection and monitoring, defining a comprehensive resuscitation system, exploring quality of life issues, and expanding public education. It also describes a dispute resolution process and provides an overview of pass rates for ACLS, BLS, and PALS courses.
5. Increase Survival from
Cardiac Arrest:
In Hospital:
Adult – from 19% to 38%
Children – from 35% to 50%
OOH – from 7.9 to 15.8%
Double Out of Hospital
CPR Bystander Response
from 31% to 62%
Action Strategies
• Improve quality of CPR delivered
• Establish data collection, reporting and
benchmarks to improve surveillance and
outcomes
• Define elements of comprehensive
Resuscitation of System of Care and a
recognition program to encourage
implementation
• Explore issues related to quality of life
after an event
• Leverage existing science on the
bystander effect and encourage
additional research
• Expand program development to build
bystander confidence to perform CPR
• Advocate for emergency medical dispatch
coverage in every community and
develop tools to support implementation
8. Dispute Resolution Process
• TC has active program and manages issue
• Hospitals have well defined processes
• TCC may not know or avoids process
Self-managed
• AM works with TC
• Educate – not punish
• Holds TC Accountable
Standard
•TC Fails to take responsibility or resolve issue
•Mgr, Quality & Risk Mgmt
•Formal action taken

First couple of months was discovery periodVerified these issues with staff, volunteersAnd, 48 Chairs during a series of 9 virtual meetings in May-June 2012ID several core issues:Quality ImprovementLegal risksCM ProcessPerception that TC automatically renewed
Created strategic planStaff now manage all quality issues to eliminate COI issuesDispute resolution process that allows the TC to solve their issues and hold all parties accountableDispute Resolution Process including escalation pathwayRevised CM Process with reports and data output to improve qualityNew TC Renewal ProcessDedicated Volunteer Website for RFs and RCs
Problems with Quality6 years without fixing quality and operational issuesLack of parityIncorrect info/processes institutionalizedIf you can't beat 'em, join 'em
COI & Anti-trust issues with volsInnate COI 90+% of our committees serve in TC leadership rolesRegardless of how objective, vols cannot serve as agents to AHAThis is why vols were not allowed to deal with TC issues prior to 2005
Dispute resolution process defined with escalation process and dedicated staff position (include simple slide)TCs held accountableTCA section 4.1 requires TC to manage all issues arising out of doing business as a TC - customer issue, TS/Instructor issueVols cannot hold TC accountable - staff functionEducate v punishTC is unable to resolve issue it is escalated
ASK:“Let me ask a question…” <CLICKNOTE: cannot fix all problems in a year or even 2 years that have brewed for 6+ years.Inertia & tipping point
Problems with CMProblems with linksEasy to use wrong link if RF has multiple assignmentsIssues with RFs changing assignments and needing new link assignedVendor limits link order to monthlyCM window too narrow
Perception that TC automatically renewedMany were renewed because we had no central collection point for complaints/issues
CM Provide a report to each region that provides links for every CM by discipline, per TC (Over 6600 links every 2 years)
Sample Sizes: Total Responses (N) = 1,199Successful with Improvements = 271Unsuccessful = 39
Data by State:Allows us to begin to ask questionsWhy do the states starting with CA through VA are above average with scores of 2 or 3
New TC Renewal Process21 months to complete CM - eliminates burden on RFIncludes AM early in new TC Audit - Renew/DNRHold both AHA and TC accountableTime for TC to fix issues within dispute resolution processIf a TC does not respond to RF, then the RF needs to escalate the issueThe RF has a responsibility to contact the TCC more than 1 every 2 yrs
<CLICK>T-150 days the AM Recommendations are finalized by TNSIf AM recommends not renew, need documentation to show sufficient evidence (discussed later)Time for TC to fix issues within dispute resolution process<CLICK>T-90 Days: CM Deadline<CLICK>T-60 days: Final decision based on recommendation, CM Results, presence of updated insurance and no escalated quality issuesDecision to terminate/not renew, appropriate letter will be sent, gives TC 60-days to close their TC and transfer their instructors<CLICK>T-30 days: TC Renewal Letter Sent
TELL: Move from compliance to contributionILLUSTRATION: Wave at a ballpark analogyTELL:Awkward at first, but eventually people are waiting to participateDeliberate shift from oversight of TCsto Mission-based activities resulting in increased training, which has a direct correlation survival rates<CLICK> Switch to Poll 2 Next
Creation of 2 Volunteer Websites:General website that will include:Doc Library to store info and docs to support volsAnnouncementsBlogLinks to other webpages/sitesEach RC will receive their own Site to manage the business of the committee:Mtg CalendarAgenda and all exhibitsAnnouncements
Avoidance of travel costs Convenience - reduce time away from home and workInteractivity - polls, dialog, IMFlexibility - hold many topics to large and small audience for training, brainstorming, just in-time trainingInformal learning - spontaneous knowledge transferRepurpose content by recording a session
Break old behaviors of attempting to provide a single tool that will meet every needInstead create clean interface that is simple to useMore of an app like environmentAllows TCs & Instructors to pick and choose what they need to supplement their existing toolsGoal to make life and work simpler

Simple 6 question Survey that will eliminate the need to do post course surveys as we do todayExcept if one is required for CE, CME, etc…Survey will provide TC with data about every single instructor – eliminating the need for Instructor Monitoring unless the instructor scores reveal they fall below the benchmarkData driven improvementWe will most likely eliminate CM process for majority of those who use My CardsWe will have data from every student and all instructors for their TC, which allows for incremental improvement within a CQI program
