What is HeartCode BLS, ACLS &
PALS?
HeartCode is the official
American Heart Association Self-Directed
Comprehensive eLearning Program
HeartCode allows students to take the BLS/HCP, ACLS &
PALS courses on a computer, instead of attending
traditional, classroom based course.
HeartCode BLS and ACLS uses Microsimulation Technology /
Scenario-based Learning and VAM -Voice Assisted Manikin
Technology Skills on a computerized manikin.

Abstract:
Quality of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation During In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Conclusion:
The results from the study revealed very poor CPR quality in the in-hospital
setting. That is too few and shallow chest compressions, and too many
ventilations per minute.

Abstract:
An Automated Voice Advisory Manikin System for Training in Basic Life Support
Without an Instructor. A Novel Approach to CPR Training
Conclusion:
Feedback can (almost immediately) improve the basic CPR skills performance
of paramedic students. In addition, when students begin with feedback, they attain
a high level of performance and maintain that high level even when feedback is
taken away.

Key Questions to consider …
•
How many students do you train in BLS/HCP, ACLS and PALS
annually?
•
Courses structure – Where? When? What equipment?
•
What are the biggest challenges/obstacles (over full classes,
physicians not attending, lack of instructors…)
•
Do you charge for the course? How much do you charge
employees vs. non-employees?
•
What does it cost you per student to teach the course? Don’t
forget hourly rates in OT, replacing staff on the floor, books,
facilities, etc.
•
Any opportunities to further market and provide these courses to
non-employees your area? Become a profit center?
