Using Data to Help Save Lives
Get With The Guidelines®-Resuscitation collects data on in-hospital resuscitation events from hospitals across the U.S. The data is used to provide participating hospitals with feedback on their resuscitation practice and patient outcomes as well as to develop new evidence-based guidelines for in-hospital resuscitation.
