Figure 1.
Putative hospital factors or processes of care contributing to differences in quality of resuscitation care. Prior investigations have suggested that resuscitation performance and quality may be related to prevention of IHCA, delivery of acute and post‐resuscitation care, and organizational aspects with respect to systems of care. CPR indicates cardiopulmonary resuscitation; ICU, intensive care unit; IHCA, in‐hospital cardiac arrest.
