One of the measures of a high-performance team is the ability to achieve:

• A. Specific Performance Metrics
• B. High Chest Compression Fraction (CCF)
• C. Continuous Improvement
• D. Number of Code Team Members

Answer: (A)

A high-performance team is defined by its ability to achieve clearly defined, objective targets. In ACLS practice, that means reaching specific performance metrics that reflect how well the team performs critical actions under pressure. When a team consistently meets or exceeds these targets—such as timely defibrillation, high-quality chest compressions (captured by a strong chest compression fraction), correct medication timing, and coordinated leadership—it demonstrates reliable, data-driven performance and holds itself accountable for results.

While a high chest compression fraction is an important indicator, it represents one metric rather than the overall measure of performance. Continuous improvement describes a process or mindset, not the actual achievement of concrete results. Number of code team members relates to team size or structure, not how well the team achieves defined performance outcomes.
