TRANSFORMING
RESUSCITATION
for Life ™
 Introducing RQI for NRP
NRP now includes the innovative Resuscitation Quality
Improvement® (RQI®) learning method as an option for
NRP Essentials and Advanced Endorsement.
Bringing together the latest science from the American
Academy of Pediatrics with mastery learning and
quality improvement technology from the American
Heart Association and Laerdal Medical, all delivered
via an on-site simulation station, healthcare providers
are continuously improving and retaining skills.
NRP complements a full suite of curricula available
through RQI including Healthcare Provider BLS, ALS,
PALS and Responder.

An NRP Provider’s
Journey to Verified Competence in PPV Skills on a Simulator

Learners start with a preparation or entry
assignment featuring True Adaptive™
learning – a personalized method tailored to
individual knowledge and confidence levels.
True Adaptive learning adjusts to the learner’s
competence and performance in real-time.
Each quarter, in a low-dose, high-frequency model, cognitive and
skills sessions assess learner’s recall, application, and practice of the
NRP algorithm, positive pressure ventilation (PPV), and MR. SOPA.
Skills are performed at the RQI for NRP Simulation Station on-site.
Cognitive activities are online in a responsive design that adjusts to
the learner’s various device formats.
