  BabySentry software works in Guy’s as it covers all areas of fertility treatment efficiently, which has allowed us to operate in a paperless environment and give us instant access to patient information. By implementing BBS it has allowed us to consolidate our processes thus eliminating duplication of work which was done previously. The on-going customer support is extremely helpful and their dedicated team have helped us all the way to getting BBS in our clinic.

• We have been working with BabySentry now for over a year and are extremely happy with the system. It has definitely helped streamline our processes and has saved an incredible amount of staff time compared to when we used paper charting. We have recently purchased additional components including a data query option and believe it will be invaluable for assessing our quality assurance and patient outcomes. read more

  We have been working with BabySentry now for over a year and are extremely happy with the system. It has definitely helped streamline our processes and has saved an incredible amount of staff time compared to when we used paper charting. We have recently purchased additional components including a data query option and believe it will be invaluable for assessing our quality assurance and patient outcomes. We have been particularly impressed with the responsiveness of the BabySentry team. They are always available to answer questions and provide technical support. They have been very willing to set up webinars and training sessions at our convenience. They are also continually updating their system to keep it state of the art. We could not be more impressed with their overall system or support. I would highly recommend BabySentry to any center interested in a comprehensive EMR.

• Our IVF Center is a large hospital based academic center. We searched for several years for a vendor that would be willing to work with our hospital IT team to develop interfaces between their product and our complex existing hospital EMR (Canopy/Cerner). BabySentry was the only company that we believed had the capability to develop functional interfaces and work with our team to develop these processes.  read more

BabySentry provides many significant benefits in patient management, office efficiency, and tracking outcomes for internal quality assurance and research. They have been very responsive to questions and their support team is exceptional and responds quickly. We have been very impressed with the capabilities of their database and the support they provide.

• Our opinion is that BBS is a very helpful system for managing an IVF unit. One of the advantages is the possibility to easily follow results after IVF attempts. You can see individual outcomes or the pregnancy and implantation rate for a desirable period of time. It is easy to compare outcomes of different groups of patients, different embryo transfer days. It is easy to check outcomes from new culture media or a new catheter. The software allows us to evaluate and maintain the quality of ART. read more

  The software helps us to prevent missing information between different departments, because all documents and tests are stored together for each couple. A detailed and flexible scheduler is provided that helps us to organize each day efficiently. Implementation was not difficult, the software is easy to use. Support is excellent. They are open for any questions and explanations. Answers to every problem are received within a few hours. It is pleasure to work with them.

  BabySentry is a straightforward, integrated, easy to use computerized medical record system that helps to coordinate all aspects of an infertility practice. The system is particularly helpful for the embryology lab and has multiple features for controlling frozen embryo and sperm inventory as well as recording cycle data. BabySentry can be used to collect clinical data, and contains integrated features for medication and prescription control, MD orders, scheduling, and billing. Expect start up to be slow and to spend a fair amount of time entering information and creating lists and templates that are specific to your program. Technical support is rapid, responsive and superb.

• We are a unit of about 60+ staff and we do 2,500 cycles a year.
  BabySentry (BBS), although by no means a complete and perfect application, is quite comprehensive and extremely user friendly and has been the system of our operation for the past 4 years. In fact, since Aug. 5, 2010 we had to increase our activities by a ratio of 2.5 and I don't believe we would have been able to sustain the increase as smoothly as we did without BBS.
  The installation in our unit was done very efficiently in one day. read more

  We are a unit of about 60+ staff and we do 2,500 cycles a year.
  BabySentry (BBS), although by no means a complete and perfect application, is quite comprehensive and extremely user friendly and has been the system of our operation for the past 4 years. In fact, since Aug. 5, 2010 we had to increase our activities by a ratio of 2.5 and I don't believe we would have been able to sustain the increase as smoothly as we did without BBS.
  
  The installation in our unit was done very efficiently in one day. We propagate the application using a Citrix server which allows remote access so that physicians are able to review even when away from the clinic. Updates are done on the server and do not need to be individually installed on the 60+ workstations. Initial training time was estimated based on the numbers of users. We continue to have online training using web meetings whenever a new module is upgraded. This has been extremely convenient and less costly than on-site training.
  
  We implemented the modules gradually, starting with Scheduler for clerical, IUI monitoring & Pelvic U/S for the U/S technicians (although this module is used mainly for vaginal U/S) and Progress Notes. In phase 2 we implemented the use of ART monitoring pages for physicians and the Embryology & Cryo pages for the embryologist. Usage of Treatment Plans and Orders was implemented as a 3rd phase for all medical staff. Finally as a last phase, we implemented Calendars for Nursing. We are using several interfaces:

  • CASA for semen analyses.
  • HIS (Hospital Information System) for updates of demographic info.
  • Endocrine analyzer (IMMULITE).
  • DICOM with U/S machines.
  • Hospital Central Lab for various test results.

  Technical Support has been promptly and efficient regardless of the time difference. Response time (to emails) is on average 15-30 min. Our IT department provided remote access so that the BBS team can troubleshoot whenever needed.
  Ease of use is really quite subjective. Some people will always have difficulty using the application the same way they would always have difficulty using MSOffice. Others grasp it fast and navigate through the pages with ease. It is extremely important to identify "super users" for each group who would provide timely support during the clinics.
  ART treatment is constantly evolving and there will always be a need to improve the application in order to catch up. I have to say that the BBS team has been able to provide such updates in a timely fashion. The module we believe still needs the most improvement is statistics. There is room for more built-in queries.

• We looked for an EMR system for our practice for 2 years. Over that time we trialed at least 10 programs and none seemed to fit our practice. In talking with large programs in California, Canada and Australia they were using BabySentry and were happy about the program and especially the support after it was installed. From the embryology point of view, our laboratory director from New York also liked the program.  read more

  We looked for an EMR system for our practice for 2 years. Over that time we trialed at least 10 programs and none seemed to fit our practice. In talking with large programs in California, Canada and Australia they were using BabySentry and were happy about the program and especially the support after it was installed. From the embryology point of view, our laboratory director from New York also liked the program. So after years of searching, we were able to find a program that was acceptable by the doctors, clinical staff, laboratory staff and front office. So we went with BabySentry.
  
  We have been impressed with the ease of use. They are always willing to add on to the program to fit your practice's needs. The most important part of any EMR is support. Any emergency that occurs, we get a response in less than 20 minutes. If you have a specific question about how to input specific information we get a response in less than 2 hours.
  
  We have been using BabySentry for 3 years now and we are still learning more and more things this program can do to help our practice flow better.
  
  We have decreased employee's time in finding charts or lab work. Ultrasound and surgical pictures are put into the program and not getting lost. We have our blood work from the outside labs downloaded into a file that we import into the program. The staff does not need to leave their seat and therefore they are more productive. I have saved a lot of money on wasted staff time than is actually paid for BabySentry.
