London Sperm Bank Clinic Portal

The launch of London Sperm Bank’s (LSB) Clinic Portal has been a resounding success. In just a few months, over two-thirds of all HFEA-licensed clinics in the UK are using the portal to manage their patients' treatments with LSB donor sperm.

This swift adoption is no surprise, as early feedback from our launch partners showed that the portal streamlines HFEA compliance reporting and improves operational efficiency, ultimately boosting patient satisfaction.

The rapid uptake of the Clinic Portal validates our vision for a more connected, efficient process. We are excited to continue developing our internal data management systems, responsible for tracking patient outcomes and donor family limits, and to share these advancements with our clinic partners.

Key Features of the LSB Clinic Portal

The Clinic Portal allows clinics to seamlessly interact with LSB from the moment a patient selects a donor and purchases a sample, to reporting the outcome of the treatment.

Key features of the platform include:

• Access to Patient and Donor Records: Clinics can review comprehensive records of their patients’ chosen donors.
• Comprehensive Live Dashboard: A live dashboard helps coordinate the entire process.
• Real-Time Donor Availability: Clinics can access up-to-date donor availability, aiding in treatment planning.
• Easy Outcome Reporting: Treatment outcomes can be reported directly through the platform.
• Complete Traceability: Clinics can record the status of patient embryos and donor gametes with LSB to ensure full traceability.

Benefits for Clinics

The expanded system provides many new advantages for clinics, including:

• Instant Notifications: Clinics receive immediate updates on patient orders and shipment statuses, ensuring smooth coordination.
• On-Demand Access: Donor information and treatment history with LSB donor sperm are available instantly, saving valuable time.
• HFEA Compliance: The portal ensures compliance with HFEA regulations by confirming patient-donor matches within the donor’s family limit.
• Real-Time Updates: Clinics benefit from real-time updates from LSB’s Genetics and Quality Management teams.
• Comprehensive Audits: The system ensures a thorough QA audit of all data in our Donor Register.

Commitment to Data Security

Given the sensitivity of patient data displayed on the platform, we have made data security a top priority. Our Clinic Portal is hosted securely by Microsoft Azure, protected by a firewall, and accessible only by licensed fertility centres through secure networks and login credentials. These measures ensure that the portal is used exclusively by authorised users.

Positive Feedback and Future Enhancements

Feedback from our partner clinics has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the portal’s intuitive interface. An impressive four out of five orders placed with London Sperm Bank are now processed through the Clinic Portal, reducing approved shipment dispatch times by one week for these clinics and their patients.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our Clinic Portal users and partner clinics. We look forward to engaging with the remaining clinics so they too can benefit from this revolutionary gamete-tracking software.

Looking ahead, we are already working on new features and upgrades to further improve the Clinic Portal, making it even more efficient and user-friendly.

We are excited to continue collaborating with our partner clinics to enhance patient care and operational efficiency, all while maintaining compliance and traceability.
