NRCPR

The American Heart Association's (AHA) National Registry of CardioPulmonary Resuscitation (NRCPR) database is a national repository for data concerning in-hospital resuscitation events. The database is the largest of its kind and the only one that provides a baseline for comparison of these events on a national basis.

The AHA selected Digital Innovation (DI) as an authorized sales distributor of the NRCPR software. DI also provides NRCPR’s software development, project management, data management services, customer and technical support to NRCPR participants for the AHA.

As of April 21, 2009, there were 160,241 cardiomulmonary resuscitation events in the NRCPR registry. Since the November 2004 introduction of Acute Respiratory Compromise (ARC) events, the NRCPR has received data from 15,842 ARC events. Since the introduction of MET events, the NRCPR has received data from 63,344 MET events.

Quarterly comparison reports are provided to participants, as well as the Annual NRCPR Comparison Report which is compiled each May.

NRCPR has a lot to offer. Here are just a few of the benefits of participation:

• Identify opportunities to improve resuscitation outcomes
• Improve staffing, training, and equipment allocation
• Comply with JCAHO standards for monitoring in-hospital resuscitations
• Identify opportunities for improvement in practice and risk management
• Save time and money by not having to develop and maintain your own data collection and reporting system
