All ART clinics, from those just starting out to the well established, must employ the latest equipment and implement the best practices, while ensuring that their resources are effectively engaged to optimize patient outcomes. This is a tenet of the fiduciary role of physicians and it is increasingly recognized as a quantifiable goal regulated by formal certifications and accreditations. Quality management protocols such as those proposed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) are being rapidly adopted as standards of measure.    Quality Management in ART Clinics: A Practical Guide provides easily adoptable ways to implement and improve formalized quality management systems. Essential to any clinic to achieve best practices and maintenance of formal regulatory certifications, this book brings together the know-how of experienced opinion leaders operating in key areas worldwide. The book offers an overview of primary regulations in the ART field, with attention to quality management demands, and links specific requirements to practical steps for implementation. Filled with process and procedure examples, flow diagrams and administrative form templates, this book is the first of its kind, gathering the necessary elements for optimizing practice, management, and quality assurance. 606 $aReproductive health 606 $aMidwifery 606 $aEndocrinology 606 $aReproductive Medicine 606 $aMidwifery 606 $aEndocrinology 615 0$aReproductive health. 615 0$aMidwifery. 615 0$aEndocrinology. 615 14$aReproductive Medicine. 615 24$aMidwifery. 615 24$aEndocrinology. 676 $a616.692 701 $aBento$b Fabiola$01758988 701 $aEsteves$b Sandro$01758989 701 $aAgarwal$b Ashok$0789686 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438007203321 996 $aQuality management in ART clinics$94197331 997 $aUNINA
