RQI for NRP
-
No, the RQI simulation station is not required for NRP training. There will still be Instructor Led (traditional) NRP. For those hospitals using RQI for other courses, like RQI BLS Provider, RQI PALS Provider, etc, there will be the option of RQI for NRP, which is a self-directed quarterly curriculum for NRP Essentials.
-
Individuals can create their own account and purchase the NRP curricula through the NRP Learning Platform™.
If you are not sure if your hospital has an institutional account, please reach out to a hospital administrator. To set up an institutional account please contact [email protected].
-
The new NRP Learning Platform is powered by the company, RQI Partners, LLC (a partnership between the American Heart Association and Laerdal Medical).
RQI for NRP is a quality improvement program for institutions. The program allows learners to complete NRP Essentials via a self-directed curriculum with quarterly cognitive and skills activities to reinforce and master key NRP knowledge and Essentials provider skills at a simulation station. RQI for NRP is an alternative to Instructor-led (traditional) NRP training.
-
An eCard is issued upon completion of an instructor-led NRP Essentials or Advanced provider course. The eCards are valid for two years.
An eCredential is created when a learner does their first quarterly session at the RQI simulation cart. The expiration for the eCredential is dated three months from that first session; the eCredential is then maintained by completing the quarterly knowledge and skills assessments at the simulation station (this is called perpetual learning). Every time an RQI provider completes their quarterly session, the eCredential extends expiration for another 3 months.
