Increase Clinic Success; Improve Patient Care; Reduce FDA Liabilities

Greetings!
Patient care, FDA compliance, business practices and profitability - these are all concerns of the modern fertility clinic. We have a wide variety of tools to help you continue to make your clinic successful.

Patient Care

Here are the tools created specifically to help you educate patients about embryo donation and adoption:

Embryo Disposition Options Brochure
Embryo Donation Brochure
Embryo Adoption Brochure
Customizable Power Point Overview of Embryo Donation

The Embryo Adoption Awareness Center exists to educate potential embryo donors and adopters about this family building alternative.

Even though you are explaining remaining embryo disposition options to your patients before they create them, many patients are so focused on having a baby they simply don't think it is important. Your clinic has patients who have remaining embryos and need to hear again about what they can do with them.

Your clinic also may have patients who were unsuccessful with their ART treatments. These patients may be interested in pursuing the use of donated embryos - and your clinic can provide the required medical (FET) treatment.

Staff Continuing Education

For your staff members we offer:

Monthly one-hour webinars with CEU credit from ABB
FDA Guideline Booklets
Guidelines for Clinic Press Releases

Why re-invent the wheel when we've already invented it for you?

Embryo Donation Education
Customizable Power Point

Use this brief yet thorough overview to educate your patients about embryo donation and adoption. The presentation is easily

customized with your brand and information about your clinic.

It may be particularly useful:

For new IVF patients before embryos are created
One year after embryos have been stored on-site
Made available on your website for patients to view at will
Shown to patients before embryos are shipped to long-term storage

At your request we will email you the original file and assist you with modifications if you are unfamiliar with power point software. Contact Jeff Dillon at: jeffd@nightlight.org

Promote Your Clinic in Your Community

We know that clinics are busy and focused on what they do best - care for patients and provide excellent medical treatment. But wouldn't it be great if there were an easy way to let your community know about your successes?

We have prepared a brief guideline and sample press release to make it easy to get news to your local media outlets. This press release can be easily edited to fit the needs of your clinic.

We're even willing to offer to assist you with writing press releases regarding children who have been born through embryo donation using your clinic's medical services. If you would like a copy of this press release guideline, please contact Jeff Dillon at jeffd@nightlight.org.

Embryo Disposition, Donation & Adoption Brochures

Embryo Disposition Brochure: Great tool for informing patients about the potential disposition options for any remaining embryos

they may have. Could be used in the initial education of patients to assist them in completing IVF pre-treatment paperwork.

Embryo Donor Brochure: What does Embryo

donation look like? How do you donate your embryos? Where do you donate your embryos? A good overview regarding the donation of embryos to another couple.

Embryo Adopter Brochure: Intended for couples who are interested in receiving donated

embryos. The brochure contains answers to some of the most frequently asked questions. A great resource for your patients who may have been unsuccessful using their own gametes.

Each of these brochures is available for easy download and printing on our website.

FDA Donor Eligibility Determination and
21 CFR Part 1271 Regulations

The Awareness Center will mail you copies of these booklets at your requ FDA

est. Produced in cooperation with Reglera these booklets are a handy desk reference for office staff regarding important FDA rules and regulations. These booklets were created by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

We would also strongly recommend attendance at one of our monthly webinars, each focusing on a particular aspect of the FDA regulations to aid your clinic in following them and responding to an FDA inspection of your clinic.
