Solution To Improving Survival

Improving Survival Rates - This means better CPR. Study after study has shown that survival is directly related to how well CPR is performed. The empirical evidence points to several key features which are often summed up with the term " Quality CPR". SCA is a big deal. In fact it is likely the single largest issue of public care A Huge Public Health Issue.
IMPROVING QUALITY OF CPR SmartMan can provide your team with the CPR training systems in the world. Achieving Quality of CPR Setting Thresholds Evidence Based Assessment Retention of High Level Skills	IMPROVING SYSTEM DELIVERY SmartMan can work with your people to set up the required system level procedures to develop world's best practice in your system.

Quality of CPR

SmartMan Will Give Your Program Results The quality of the device and the exceptional feedback provide you with the tools to make sure people are performing to the highest levels. * Very High Device Accuracy. This is essential to good training and to be able to provide the information necessary on all parameters. * Performance thresholds are easy to set with SmartMan. As soon as an activity is completed you see the score. Activities can be performed with or without the feedback.. * Objective evidence based assessment is easy with SmartMan. The measurement is always accurate and it provides an immediate score. It also stores the data of the activity. * Student themselves can interpret the feedback and thus are able to re-adjust as required

Setting Thresholds It is important for the student to have a target performance level. It is also important for the trainer and supervisors to set a target level. SmartMan has the highest standard for accurate performance, accurate recording and reporting on how well people have performed. And all of the data is real rather than extrapolated points. Evidence Based Assessment If you are serious about Quality CPR, then you must be able to accurate and objectively assess the level of performance of your students. Retention of High Level Skills Excellent training equipment and top level feedback allow students to develop muscle memory of correct performance. They need to have refreshers which take little time but allow the student to re-adjust performance errors.

Beyond Quality of CPR

CPR works within the emergency response system. All parts of that response system must be tuned to helping high quality CPR work and achieve high survival rates.

SmartMan has the people and experience to guide your system in how to make all of the components work together.

System of Care for SCA

SmartMan is dedicated to improving survival rates due to sudden cardiac arrest. With training products that are more accurate and which have more data that others, we are able to integrate the quality of training with response procedures. This now includes the ability to track outcomes. This means that we can help you set up a system More Innovations which improve CPR training.

It's key elements are:

• * Buy in and sign off of participants and organizations
• * Standardized continuously updated evidence-based treatment protocols and procedures
• * Target goal directed education
• * Individual and team training with mandatory minimum proficiency thresholds
• * Organized explicit system of rescuer roles and duties
• * Quality Improvement program that includes process and outcome measures

Achieving World's Best Practice

The more parts of the complete system that can be improved, the greater the chances of survival for the victim of sudden cardiac arrest. SmartMan employs a group of people who have already implemented this system across whole systems. We design and implement the complete response procedures across a whole county or greater. The aim being to provide your response area with world's best practice.

Analysis: We will have an expert come to your system to examine what would be required in your situation. From this we provide a written report recommending stages and costs.

Collaborative Effort: SmartMan works within your structure with your people. Thus as the process and procedures are being implemented your people develop the skills and knowledge to take it over at a later stage.

Milestones: Results will be demonstrable. That is there there will be objective assessment at all stages.

Hand Off: Once implemented SmartMan will be hands off.

Already Proven with Best Results

This cardiac arrest management system of care has already been proved in the field. The current implementation represents several years of experience and is a distillation of practices that have shown direct improvements in survival to discharge. The vast majority of the increase in survivors are released in CPC 1 and CPC 2.

The system we are implementing is already proven to work; it achieves results.

Testimonials, recommendations and data from real implementations are available on asking.

Implementation

The system achieves it goals. To get the optimum results, highest survival rates, each of the following must be coordinated.

• 1. System Parameters
• 2. Protocols
• 3. Education
• 4. Evaluation
• 5. Re-Integration

We make sure each stake holder has signed off on the process. Time lines are flexible but give targets to be reached. From set up to demonstrating improved survival for your first first results takes about two years.
