Southwest Health System Classes and Trainings
About HeartCode:
SHS offers BLS and CPR/First Aid classes utilizing AHA’s HeartCode blended learning delivery method. HeartCode blended learning delivers quality resuscitation education regardless of where students are located and gives them more control to complete the course at their own pace.
The 2020 Guidelines HeartCode uses a personalized adaptive algorithm that sets students on the most efficient path to mastery. Students follow a continuously adapting learning path that is personalized by their own inputs: their performance, and their self- reported confidence level related to each probing question. The course content is presented in the form of self-directed learning content, probing questions, and Cognitive Assessment Activities (CAAs).
Students first complete the online portion of HeartCode BLS and then complete a hands-on skills session with an AHA Instructor in person
Access to the Provider Manual eBook is included with your HeartCode purchase. You will be able to access the Provider Manual from within the course.
