The College of Health has recently acquired a new, fully automated training system called Resuscitation Quality Improvement, or RQI, that allows students, faculty, and staff to become certified on their own time, without an in-person course. This system was developed by the American Heart Association and is offered at no cost to Ball State College of Health faculty, staff, and students.
\n<\/strong>\u201cWe wanted to come up with a solution that was user friendly and would help everyone to keep their skills fresh.\u201d said Theresa Mince, Director, Office for Field Education and Community Outreach.
\nIndividuals seeking certification will complete the cognitive portion of the training online, at their own pace. This will provide the knowledge necessary to perform CPR and basic life support. Once completed, students will utilize the RQI simulation cart to complete hands-on skills testing, which provides real-time feedback. Once you have successfully completed the skills testing, you will be awarded your initial BLS certification.
\nAfter the successful completion of the initial training sessions, students will complete quarterly knowledge and skill check-ups to maintain certification.
\nThe online training portion takes approximately one hour, and skills testing takes approximately 20-30 minutes. Each quarter, students, faculty or staff will be asked to complete an additional 10-15 minutes\u00a0of learning and skills check-ups.\u00a0This is a much quicker way to do the training vs a semester long skills course.
\n\u201cThis is going to help us get students ready to practice in their programs, such as internships, practicums, clinicals, and in the Interprofessional Community Clinics, as most of these practice settings require a CPR certification, said Mince.
\nIf you \u2018d like to learn more about the RQI, you can visit the American Heart Association\u2019s website.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
