Building Resuscitation Excellence Workshop with Jen Hayes

This intensive workshop is designed for resuscitation educators and trainers who want to transform CPR quality and team performance in their organisations.

Jennifer Hayes will take participants on a deep dive into the data-driven approach that led CHOC Children’s Hospital to be featured in ILCOR’s “10 Steps to Improve IHCA Outcomes.” Moving beyond the morning’s overview, this workshop provides actionable strategies for implementing sustainable quality improvement initiatives.

You’ll learn how to leverage data to drive culture change, build high-performing code teams, and develop training programs that translate to real-world improvements in patient outcomes.

Session Details

Part 1: Building Resuscitation Excellence

A comprehensive look at the systems and processes that drive sustained improvement:

• Deep dive into the ILCOR 10 Steps framework with real implementation examples
• Strategies for collecting, analysing, and acting on CPR quality data
• Creating CPR quality report cards that change culture

• Team choreography and role allocation—the first five minutes
• The power of CPR feedback devices and how to train staff to use them
• Debrief with Data: Structured feedback that drives improvement
• Moving from annual BLS recertification to quarterly training models
• Mock code drills: frequency, design, and measurement
