MedLern, a leading digital learning solution provider for hospitals and healthcare professionals, has announced a strategic collaboration with Aster CMI Hospital, Bengaluru. This partnership aims to offer the Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI) Program from the American Heart Association (AHA) to the hospital staff, enhancing their life-saving skills and patient care capabilities.

 The RQI Program will enable the healthcare workforce at Aster CMI Hospital to achieve certifications in Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS). These certifications are crucial for improving the readiness and effectiveness of hospital staff in critical care and emergencies.

This comprehensive training program, with certifications in Basic Life Support, Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support, and Pediatric Advanced Life Support, is expected to significantly enhance our team's preparedness and effectiveness in critical care scenarios. The newly inaugurated training space will provide a dedicated environment for our healthcare professionals to engage in personalized and flexible learning, ultimately improving patient outcomes and setting new standards in emergency response at Aster CMI Hospital.”

 “Well-trained healthcare staff with certifications in Basic Life Support and Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support can make a significant difference in a hospital’s ability to successfully manage critical care and emergency scenarios. This program not only saves time but also proves to be cost-effective. Our training model offers truly personalized learning to the hospital staff,” said Deepak Sharma, Co-Founder and CEO, MedLern.

 A separate space for providing resuscitation training was inaugurated at Aster CMI in the presence of SGS Lakshmanan, Chief Operating Officer, Aster CMI Hospital, Shailesh Shetty Shibaroor, Sr. Consultant & HOD, Emergency Department, Aster CMI Hospital and the hospital staff.

MedLern unveiled this innovative resuscitation training platform in 2022, which is unique in that it does not require instructor oversight.
