Measure
Conventional EMS CPR (2013-2014, 2 Years)
Conventional EMS CPR group will include patients from January, 2013 through December, 2014, as to refer to the historic control population who did not receive any of study interventions.
Bundled EMS CPR (2015-2016, 2 Years)
The main study phase will begin in January, 2015 through December, 2016, for a total of two years. Patients during the main study phase will have received one or more study interventions as applicable. Bundled EMS CPR approach including dispatcher-assisted CPR, 3-person team CPR, and feedback CPR monitoring device: Gold standard EMS CPR refers to our bundled approach to providing high quality EMS CPR through one or more intervention(s) as applicable including 1) dispatcher-assisted CPR, 2) multi-tiered team CPR, and 3) feedback CPR.
