This week we launched Epic (EMR) at Unity Health Toronto . Today we crash tested it during a cardiac arrest simulation. Most importantly, we ran this simulation as the FIRST test of a cardiac arrest patient - before this occurs in real life. Great work by both clinical & sim teams!

Amazing program. Amazing colleague. Amazing cardiac surgeon! Our patients, learners, and community are thankful for you! bobby yanagawa Unity Health Toronto

crazy to think most emergency depts have data for how long someone with an ankle sprain waits. Yet rarely do we know CPR performance data. Incredible team led by Garrick Mok & Farah Warsi Unity Health Toronto link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Our ED Unity Health Toronto has been tracking cpr quality since Aug 2023. Why? To improve team performance. This should be the norm across EDs. With a multidisciplinary team, we showed how simulation, debriefing, and QI methodology can help create a program. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

High-quality CPR saves lives, but most EDs don’t measure it. The MI-CARE team showed that using real-time data, debriefs, and a CPR coach dramatically boosts performance. From 39% to 76% in-target CPR. You can’t improve what you don’t measure. #FOAMed #CPR #EmergencyMedicineDay
