In order to get this accreditation, a fertility centre needs to go through an audit conducted by an independent Certification Body (CB) that is approved by the Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand (JAS-ANZ).
This code of practice governs the standard of care that a fertility centre implements in maintaining its quality management system including :
- Compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements
- Competency of key personnel
- Risk Management
- Process controls
- Service requirements
- Continuous professional development,
- Presentation of data including publishing IVF pregnancy rates that are transparent and not misleading
It is imperative that couple that receives fertility treatment be treated with respect and be recognised with their cultural and individual values and beliefs and be uphold of their dignity and privacy.
The main value for Alpha in getting this RTAC certification is to highlight out competence and credibility through a good framework set by RTAC. RTAC has also helped ALPHA IVF to maintain our core values of Excellence, Innovation, Integrity and Quality.
Putting all these into the patient’s perspective, choosing ALPHA IVF as a fertility centre that is RTAC accredited translates into protection of their welfare and ensures that they receive the best quality of care by a centre that have met the highest level of assessment and professionalism in the industry.
Recurrent Implantation Failure (RIF) is a major issue of infertility that is still not fully understood, even after transferring good quality embryos. In order for the uterus to receive an embryo, the interior of the uterus known as endometrium must be ready in the right timing, calculated in coordination with the body's menstrual cycle. This is known as window of implantation. For some women, this timing can be different and this altered timing of the window of implantation could be one of the reasons where embryos fail to implant despite transferring the best embryo.
