Dear Einstein Student:

Please arrive on time as it will be difficult for late students to catch up once we start.  Students are expected to attend and participate in the entire course.

This course covers two requirements. Bleed Control and BLS Provider (CPR)

The first hour you will learn how to help someone who has a life threatening bleed by learning some simple bandaging skills and how to use a torniquet properly.

The second portion is two hours and the BLS Heartcode Skill Check session is designed to evaluate your ability to function as both a team member and a team leader in either an in-hospital or an out-of-hospital setting.  Because the BLS Heartcode Skill Check covers extensive material in a short time, you will need to prepare for the course beforehand.

You should prepare for the course by doing the following:

Complete the BLS Heartcode Online Part 1 prior to attending the skill session.  Please bring the completion certificate with you to the course.

  1. The resuscitation scenarios require that your BLS skills and knowledge are current. You will be tested on 1-rescuer adult CPR and AED skills at the beginning of the ACLS Provider Course.  You must know this in advance, since you will not be taught how to do CPR or how to use an AED.
  2. Do NOT complete the pre-work more than 60 days prior to the class. The scores are only good for 60 days otherwise you will have to do it over.

What to Bring and What to Wear

Please wear loose, comfortable clothing to class.  You will be practicing skills that require you to work on your hands and knees, and the course requires bending, standing, and lifting.  If you have any physical condition that might prevent you from engaging in these activities, please tell an instructor.  The instructor may be able to adjust the equipment if you have back, knee, or hip problems.

We look forward to welcoming you.  If you have any questions about the course, please call me at 718-920-2579, or via email to: CPRTraining@montefiore.org.

REFUND POLICY:  Cancellations or transfer requests must be requested in writing via email to:  LearningNetwork@montefiore.org or CPRTraining@montefiore.org and must be received 5 business days before the course (business days are defined as Monday-Friday, 7:30a-4:00p).  There will be neither a refund issued nor credit given for less than 3 business day notice and no-shows.

HeartCode BLS uses a variety of eLearning assets such as dramatizations, eSimulations, animations, self-directed learning, and interactive activities to teach students BLS knowledge and skills. 

After completing the online portion, students attend a structured BLS Hands-On Session with an AHA Instructor. This session focuses on meaningful skills practice, debriefing, team scenarios, discussions of local protocols, and skills testing. Where available, students may also complete the hands-on session with a voice-assisted manikin (VAM).

HeartCode BLS is for healthcare professionals seeking an alternative method for completing an initial or renewal BLS Course.

HeartCode ACLS is the AHA’s blended learning delivery method for the AHA’s ACLS Course. HeartCode blended learning delivers quality resuscitation education regardless of where providers are located and gives them more control to complete the course at their own pace. 

Providers first complete the online portion of HeartCode ACLS and then complete a hands-on skills session with an AHA ACLS Instructor or HeartCode compatible manikin.

Access to the ACLS Provider Manual eBook (20-3100) is included with HeartCode ACLS. You will be able to access the Provider Manual from within the course.

This product has been updated with new science from the 2020 Guidelines for CPR and ECC and replaces the previous version (15-1407).

How does the 2020 Guidelines version of HeartCode differ from the 2015 Guidelines version of HeartCode?

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).

NRP 8th Edition Advanced(1-11) Provider Curriculum

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program® (NRP®) course conveys an evidence-based approach to care of the newborn at birth and facilitates effective team-based care for healthcare professionals who care for newborns at the time of delivery. This course content delivers curricula for Advanced Providers who may participate in neonatal resuscitation beyond positive pressure ventilation.

 

Once completed the learner must complete a skill session with a credentialed NRP Instructor to complete the certification.

Completion of Part One alone is not a recognized certification.

Description

HeartCode PALS is the AHA’s blended learning delivery method for the AHA’s PALS Course. HeartCode blended learning delivers quality resuscitation education regardless of where providers are located and gives them more control to complete the course at their own pace. Providers first complete the online portion of HeartCode PALS and then complete a hands-on skills session with an AHA PALS Instructor or a HeartCode compatible manikin.

Access to the PALS Provider Manual eBook (20-3120) is included with HeartCode PALS. You will be able to access the Provider Manual from within the course.
