Traditionally, BLS, ACLS, and PALS training has been provided by an instructor in a classroom, involving a significant outlay of resources in terms of time and cost. In addition to the scheduling and space problems, certification training in a classroom learning setting is a lengthy process requiring manikin appointments and supervision difficulties. Standardization of learning and competency is dependent on the skills of the instructor, which can vary widely.

HeartCode™ BLS, ACLS, and PALS incorporate the American Heart Association (AHA) 2010 guidelines updates for responses to cardiac arrest, enabling healthcare professionals to provide the best possible care in such emergencies. Using HeartCode™ BLS, ACLS, and PALS, HealthStream customers benefit from improved CPR competency and save time and money compared to traditional CPR class instructional methods.
