| The SASREG Special Interest Group Embryology and ANARA Operational team would invite delegates attending FAM2020 to a hands-on workshop on data management in Assisted Reproduction. The workshop will introduce delegates to the importance of data collection, provide hands-on exposure to data software, and present the application and implementation of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in routine data management systems. A pre-populated ANARA dataset will be used as a working model to demonstrate the calculation of performance indicator values.
The organisers are excited to introduce Prof. Thomas Ebner, co-author of “The Vienna consensus: report of an expert meeting on the development of ART laboratory performance indicators” (https://doi.org/10.1093/hropen/hox011), as presenter and facilitator during this workshop. Delegates are invited to bring their own laptops or tablet (Microsoft Excel compatible) for the practical sessions. |
