Revolutionizing ART Lab Competency with Digital QA
At ART Compass, we believe that consistency, objectivity, and compliance are the keys to exceptional lab performance. That’s why we developed the first-of-its-kind, HIPAA-compliant mobile app for real-time competency assessment and quality assurance in IVF laboratories. Here’s how it works:
Mobile-Based Competency Assessment
Our platform digitizes traditional lab evaluations—offering customizable, multimedia-rich competency modules accessible on any smart device. Technologists receive randomized test images, videos, and questions directly on their dashboard, minimizing bias and replicating real-world lab conditions.
- Multimedia test content (images, videos, written questions)
- Standardized grading aligned with your lab’s protocols
- Random monthly refresh to avoid test familiarity
Seamless Integration into Daily Workflow
Forget paper logs and cumbersome evaluations. ART Compass fits naturally into the daily rhythm of IVF labs:
- Push notifications and alerts for new assignments
- Instant access to SOPs, learning modules, and updates
- Technologists complete assessments during routine lab tasks
Comprehensive Competency Documentation
ART Compass captures and stores detailed assessment data that supports compliance with CLIA, WHO, and CAP standards. Each test completed contributes to the lab’s Quality Management documentation.
- Tracks performance by individual, test type, and assessment period
- Timestamped activity logs and completion records
- Secure, confidential recordkeeping for audits and internal reviews
Standardized & Customizable Modules
Our tool is fully adaptable. Customize everything—images, buttons, directions, SOPs, and pre-test videos—so your evaluations match your lab’s specific procedures.
- Evaluate embryo grading, sperm selection, biopsy decisions, and more
- Align content with your own grading scales and KPIs
- Unlimited assessment options for all skill levels
Real-Time Analytics for Lab Directors
Lab managers and directors get full visibility into staff performance with interactive dashboards:
- Compare junior and senior staff decision-making
- Identify trends in clinical judgment
- Track improvements, deficiencies, and training needs
Built-In Feedback & Remediation
If performance gaps are identified, ART Compass helps close them—fast.
- Assign retraining tasks automatically
- Link to updated SOPs or demo videos
- Confirm completion with acknowledgment logs and alerts
Meets CLIA & WHO Compliance Standards
ART Compass is built to meet the six core CLIA requirements for laboratory personnel competency, including:
- Direct observation of testing
- QC and PT record review
- Instrument maintenance checks
- Peer sample comparisons
- Problem-solving assessments
We also incorporate WHO’s best practices for competency evaluations, including transparent feedback and follow-up plans.
Confidential, Secure, and Audit-Ready
All data is securely encrypted and stored in accordance with HIPAA and laboratory accreditation standards. Reports are easily accessible for inspections, audits, and internal quality assurance reviews.
