Coordinating American Heart Association certification for healthcare employees can become difficult when staff members work different shifts, have different certification expiration dates, or cannot easily leave the facility for training.
For qualifying healthcare organizations in Racine County, Wisconsin, Citywide CPR can discuss portable BLS, ACLS and PALS skills verification using RQI-P GO. Employees complete the applicable online learning and then practice and perform their required hands-on skills using portable equipment with available real-time performance feedback.
Rather than sending every employee to an offsite training center, organizations can ask about bringing an appropriate skills-verification arrangement to their facility. Citywide CPR can also coordinate instructor-led onsite CPR training, workplace CPR/AED/First Aid training, and individual Self-Guided Skills Sessions based on the organization’s needs.
For healthcare organizations ready to discuss their requirements, request healthcare staff training and RQI-P GO information.
How Does Portable RQI-P GO Training Work?
The portable RQI-P GO approach is designed for eligible healthcare certification and renewal needs involving BLS, ACLS and PALS.
Step 1 — Identify the Certifications Your Staff Need
Start by determining which employees need BLS, ACLS or PALS certification or renewal. The appropriate certification depends on each employee’s role and the requirements established by the employer, credentialing organization or clinical program.
Step 2 — Complete the Applicable Online Learning
Employees complete the applicable American Heart Association online coursework when required by their selected course pathway.
Step 3 — Coordinate Training at the Facility
Citywide CPR can discuss an appropriate schedule based on the organization’s employee count, facility, course requirements and operational needs.
Step 4 — Complete Portable Hands-On Skills Verification
For eligible programs, employees use portable RQI-P GO equipment to practice and perform the required hands-on skills while receiving available real-time performance feedback.
Step 5 — Successfully Complete the Course Requirements
Employees must successfully complete all applicable course and skills requirements. The exact arrangement depends on the selected course, participant eligibility and the organization’s circumstances.
RQI-P GO is not simply a traditional instructor-led classroom course. Its value for qualifying healthcare organizations is the ability to bring portable skills verification closer to the employees who need it.
Bringing BLS, ACLS & PALS Skills Verification to Your Racine County Workplace
For a hospital, clinic, dental organization, medical practice, nursing department or other healthcare facility, getting employees certified can become a scheduling challenge as much as a training challenge.
A portable approach may help organizations coordinate eligible skills verification around normal workplace responsibilities. This can be particularly useful when employees work different shifts, have different renewal dates, or would otherwise need to travel away from the facility.
Citywide CPR can review the organization’s needs and discuss whether a portable RQI-P GO arrangement is appropriate.
Can the GoBag Be Shipped to Our Facility?
Shipping may be available for qualifying organizations and approved training arrangements.
Employers should not assume that the equipment can simply be shipped anywhere and operated without coordination. Citywide CPR should confirm eligibility, course requirements, equipment setup, technical-support needs, supervision requirements and other logistics before a shipping arrangement is finalized.
If your organization is interested in a shipped-equipment arrangement, request healthcare staff training and RQI-P GO information and mention that you are interested in the shipping option. A shipping quote can be discussed as part of the inquiry.
Which Healthcare Certifications Can Be Coordinated?
Citywide CPR can discuss portable skills verification for eligible American Heart Association BLS, ACLS and PALS certification and renewal.
The appropriate certification depends on the employee’s role and the requirements established by the employer, credentialing organization or clinical program.
BLS for Healthcare Staff
BLS is commonly relevant to healthcare professionals whose roles require healthcare-provider CPR training. Medical practices, hospitals, dental offices, nursing departments and other clinical organizations may have employees who need BLS certification or renewal.
ACLS for Healthcare Staff
ACLS may be appropriate for healthcare professionals whose roles and employer requirements call for advanced cardiovascular life support training. Not every healthcare employee needs ACLS, so organizations should identify which employees actually require the certification before scheduling training.
PALS for Healthcare Staff
PALS may be appropriate for healthcare professionals whose responsibilities involve pediatric emergencies and whose employer or clinical requirements call for PALS certification. The appropriate certification depends on each employee’s role and applicable requirements.
Who Can Benefit From Portable Healthcare Staff Training?
Portable skills verification can be useful for organizations that need to coordinate certification for multiple employees, particularly when employees cannot easily leave the facility for individual appointments.
Potential organizations include hospitals and healthcare systems, medical practices, dental offices, nursing departments, outpatient facilities, other healthcare organizations, and multi-location healthcare groups.
For example, a medical practice in Racine may have several employees who need BLS renewal but cannot all leave the office at the same time. A dental organization with multiple offices may face a similar scheduling challenge.
Citywide CPR can review the organization’s employee count, certifications, location and scheduling needs to discuss which training arrangement may be appropriate.
Flexible Ways to Coordinate Healthcare Staff Certification
Portable RQI-P GO training is one option, but it is not the only way an organization can coordinate certification.
Individual Self-Guided Skills Sessions
If an organization does not need a group session at its facility, individual employees may be able to complete applicable online learning and schedule a Self-Guided Skills Session at a participating Citywide CPR location.
At participating locations, employees can use a CPR Verification Station™ learning center to practice and perform required hands-on skills with real-time feedback.
Employees can explore individual Self-Guided Skills Sessions and then check participating locations and current course availability.
Citywide CPR does not operate a permanent training station in every Racine County community, so employees should confirm participating locations and available appointments before making plans.
Instructor-Led Onsite Group Training
Organizations can also request traditional instructor-led group training at a qualifying workplace.
Depending on the selected program and availability, this may include BLS and other healthcare training arrangements, as well as workplace CPR, AED and First Aid programs. Blended arrangements may also be possible for applicable courses.
For organizations interested in bringing instructor-led training to the workplace, request onsite group CPR training.
CPR, AED & First Aid for Non-Healthcare Employees
Businesses, schools, childcare organizations and other workplaces may need CPR, AED and First Aid rather than healthcare-provider BLS, ACLS or PALS.
Citywide CPR can help organizations discuss an appropriate workplace training arrangement. When a program requires adult, child or infant CPR, employers should confirm that the selected course and format includes the skills they need.
For workplace CPR, AED and First Aid options, request CPR, AED & First Aid training for staff.
Training Options for Racine County Healthcare Employers
Organizations throughout Racine County can inquire about healthcare staff training without assuming that every employee must follow the same certification pathway.
Potential service-area communities include Racine, Mount Pleasant, Sturtevant, Caledonia, Franksville, Burlington, Union Grove, Waterford, Wind Point, North Bay, Rochester, Yorkville, Raymond, Dover and Norway.
These communities are part of the local area where employers can inquire about healthcare staff training. They are not separate Citywide CPR offices or permanent training stations.
For an organization located elsewhere in Racine County, the important considerations are the employee count, certifications required, facility, scheduling needs and the type of training arrangement being requested.
