Acute cardiac care & resuscitation
A cross-stakeholder approach to improving out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival
Study context
- Population
- Michigan communities with varying out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survival outcomes (return to spontaneous circulation with pulse upon ED arrival)
- Comparison
- Higher- vs lower-performing OHCA systems of care
- Outcome
- Themes distinguishing higher performing sites
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Working as a team
- Devoting resources to coordination across agencies
- Developing a continuous quality improvement culture
- Themes spanned the chain of survival framework for OHCA
- Higher performing sites reported being the most collaborative, partly due to progressive leadership facilitating system integration
