This. Teaching “Family & Friends CPR for the layman, is something I enjoy doing for this reason alone. The more who know how to recognize the symptoms and act fast, the better. There is no certification at the end, though it is super informational and the cost is minimum in comparison to the traditional heartsaver course. The resources are all AHA so the gold standard is there! I beg of anyone to push for these, you can work them into more than the average individual may realize; They make for effective team dynamics exercises for work. Mom/parent group meet ups? Book a local instructor. You could find an amazingly engaging instructor (cough cough wink) and host one at your next family reunion. Practical baby shower addition for the friends and family. I have taught this course for all of the above and more. Family & friends is a cost effective AHA curriculum course and it teaches the basics of hands only CPR. Almost ANYONE can save a life. But most importantly, #educationsaveslives

It is a sad testament to the state of healthcare in New Yorks State that there are more F rates facilities in New York than anywhere else, and New York does not boast one single A rated facility. I fear the situation will only worsen especially with recent reports that there are more rural hospitals at risk of closure in New York than any other state. NYS leadership needs to step up for the sake and safety of our citizens to provide the healthcare they deserve. https://lnkd.in/er-QZeNP https://lnkd.in/eZhQ7Cp3

Pediatric Airway Management From Webinar: Prehospital Pediatric Airway Management: The Past, Present, and Future

🏥 We believe all emergency room patients should never be left in the dark about the status of their care! This year, we established a partnership with the digital platform, ERAdvisor, to fulfill our commitment of keeping patients well-informed during their emergency room visits. 💙 When being interviewed about all that ERAdvisor has done for our emergency room, Trey Plaisance, the RN Clinical Director of the Emergency Department, emphasized, “ERAdvisor has transformed the way our department views patient experience and satisfaction. It gives our patients a way to inform us of issues while they’re still in the ED, not through a post-discharge survey. This is huge in maximizing resources available to target problems in real-time.” ✨ 📲 Keep reading about our Emergency Care and ERAdvisor: https://bit.ly/3Tw1JQ1

Did you know you can find the performance ranking of hospitals? Why are hospital rankings important for patients and their families? In my book I state on page 56: Depending on which health care facility the patient was admitted to, Your risk of dying depends on the hospital you choose. Based on the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Guide rating hospitals A–F, your risk of dying increases by 87.7% at a C grade hospital as compared to receiving care at an A grade hospital, and risk of death increases to 91.8% if you receive care at a D or F rated hospital (Austin & Derk 2019). (Leape, IHI, 2005). Check it out on my website https://lnkd.in/gbeer_Rx or here on Amazon: https://lnkd.in/g6-JYzbq.
