Basking Ridge-based IVI RMA North America, a prominent fertility care and assisted reproduction organization, recently was recognized as the first patient safety organization dedicated exclusively to the field of reproductive medicine.
The designation came from the Institute for Safety in Reproductive Medicine, which aims to drive system-wide advances in safety, science, and quality outcomes across fertility care.
ISRM collects and analyzes data on patient safety events within an environment designed to encourage transparency, learning and continuous improvement. The institute will serve as a collaborative space for clinicians across the network to share insights and identify changes that can improve safety in meaningful and measurable ways.
IVI RMA North America CEO Lynn Mason spoke highly of what the award means.
“At IVI RMA, we bring dreams to life through cutting-edge innovation and individualized care — including leadership in patient safety,” she said. “Becoming the first and only reproductive health organization with a component PSO focused exclusively on reproductive health is a milestone for our company and the entire field, and a reflection of our deep responsibility to the patients who place their trust in us.
“ISRM will help ensure that every advancement we make is grounded in safety, transparency, and the highest standard of care.”
Hayley Rapp, IVI RMA North America Compliance Medical & QA Director, was thrilled.
“This PSO fills a critical gap in reproductive medicine that gives our clinical team a space to openly learn from safety events and turn that learning into improvement,” she said. “In a field where science is always evolving, innovation means always finding new ways to advance care that is safe, thoughtful, and patient-centered.”
The PSO designation became effective on July 22. For more information about The Institute for Safety in Reproductive Medicine, click here.
