The Plan
The Strategy
Fortunately, there is no need to replace any aspect of the current FertilityCare system. Every year, education programs are held, interns are trained and new ranks of practitioners are graduated to meet the needs of an ever growing population of clients. Rather than replace any aspect of this existing structure, we focus on targeted optimizations which seek to support the client, practitioner, intern, educator and researcher in ways which make them more effective at their unique role.
How might we target our efforts to help the other disciplines in a way that builds toward a world where this manual transcription is no longer required?
What if researchers had access to high quality, anonymized and validated data as soon as it has been reviewed by a qualified practitioner?
The opportunities are plentiful, but the laborers are few. Where should we focus our efforts? Where should we get started?
Do we focus first on the researcher to enable them to produce more data driven studies which provide more solutions to clients?
Do we focus on the other end of the value chain and help clients improve their use effectiveness?
The Role of Data
The ultimate goal of FertilityCare Services is to provide real solutions to the ever growing set of real problems. Achieving this goal requires data. Data which captures client bio-markers, environmental factors, case management strategies and much more. Present day data collection involves manually transcribing handwritten charts and follow up forms into datasets which can enable researchers to further the medical foundations of FertilityCare. Manual transcription at the scale required to produce statistically significant populations is prohibitively costly in both time and money.
The path we present delivers precisely this. The incremental improvements which partner with existing processes will improve how clients use, practitioners teach, interns learn, educators instruct and researchers ultimately further the frontier of FertilityCare.
The Path
Technology should always function in a supportive role. The outlined path leads to a reality where educational and learning processes are enhanced. Administrative time is reduced. Communication is streamlined. Understanding of the FertilityCare System is more quickly and effectively internalized by users. Advancement of research is supported with robust data. This path allows for higher quality FertilityCare services.
-
What if interns could practice chart correcting and simulated follow-ups on demand?
How much more quickly would they gain confidence teaching the system?
What if we could help interns identify and address mistakes made in the follow up form?
How much time would this save educators? How many more interns could they support at a time?
What if educators could ensure all interns had exposure to a full spectrum of case management scenarios?
How much better prepared would the interns be to pass the final exam and become FCPs?
-
What if FCPs could be provided continuing education which specifically targets gaps in their recent caseload?
How much more confident would they be handling the full spectrum of case management scenarios?
What if FCP(I)s spent less time on paperwork and more time learning and engaging with clients?
How many more interns would complete the education program?
How many more clients could one FCP(I) support?
What if all FCPs could be continually certified through automatic submission of the required materials?
How many more would get (and stay) certified?
-
What if we could inform clients immediately that they have made an incorrect observation?
How much time would this save in follow ups?
How much sooner could FCP(I)s advance their instructions?
How much sooner could they internalize and truly understand the system
What if clients could practice the application of new instructions during a follow-up?
How much more confidence would this bring to both the FCP(I) and the client?
How much more interactive/responsive could we make follow ups so the clients internalizes the information
-
What if the institute could continuously monitor the quality of client care provided by FCP(I)s?
What kind of improvements to the system could they make?
What if researchers had access to anonymized case reports the minute they are completed?
What sort of studies would this enable?
