title: Update your ED staff on AHA guidelines.
abstract: To improve patient care and avoid liability risks, you must ensure your staff are practicing according to new guidelines from the American Heart Association. To increase staff participation in inservicing, offer continuing education credit, provide refreshments, and hold several programs. Use e-mail to alert staff about the new guidelines and how to obtain copies. Hold mock codes for nurses, physicians, and respiratory therapists to manage patient scenarios.
