Document Control System
The Paperless IVF Lab of the Future Uses ART Compass
Using Module 2: ART Compass Document Control System
Formal document control is a best practice for IVF labs and required by accreditors like CAP.
- Documents are created in ART Compass, and given a version number. These could be policies, procedures, recording forms for quality assurance and control, and patient procedure records.
- Documents can be updated per regulatory changes, procedure changes, and as needed.
- All new staff members must read all policies and procedures and sign off on them.
- Labs must demonstrate that everyone is using the most current form, and archive but keep a record of forms no longer in use.
- Annually forms should be reviewed and updated, the scope of changes needs to be commented on (minor edits, addition of paragraph, re-written, added, taken away etc).
- With any document change “sign off” i.e. acknowledgement should occur by all staff, lab director, and MDs.
