About the Contest
What is it?
In light of the July 2013 cardiac arrest protocol update, this is an
exciting opportunity for EMS agencies across Pennsylvania to:
1)
2)
3)
Practice and perfect High-Performance CPR
Participate in creating new training materials
Improve sudden cardiac arrest response through ongoing
quality improvement and best practices
WHY A CONTEST?
When we asked agencies what would help implement the new
cardiac arrest protocols, many people requested a high-quality
training video. So, we are turning to you, the experts, to help
create this much needed training tool.
This is your chance to show us what you’ve got. Submit a video of
your best team responding to the provided cardiac arrest
simulation and compete to “be the stars” as the crew in the video
that will be used for statewide and national trainings. And, to
further recognize your great work, we are offering exciting prizes!
Ultimately, this contest is about working to provide the best care
possible and save more lives. We believe this requires practice,
training, education, and quality improvement. And, a little healthy
competition never hurts!
