Working document
The cycle start coordination checklist
Everything a coordinator should verify between the physician deciding a protocol and the patient confirming her trigger time, in the order it happens.

Resources for fertility nurse coordinators
Practical tools for the people who hold the cycle board: what coordination costs, what a coordinator can carry, and how the options on the market differ.
Everything on this page was written for the desk between the physician and the patient. That desk owns the medication calendar, the monitoring arrival windows, the afternoon dose round and the trigger confirmation, and almost none of that work is described in the software marketing a clinic manager reads when it is time to buy something.
Start with the calculators if you are building a case for staffing or software, because they turn coordination into a number you can put in front of a physician owner. Start with the comparisons if you already know you are buying and need to work out which category of tool you are actually shopping for. The checklist stands alone as a working document either way.
Free tools
Free calculators for the cycle coordination desk
Two calculators built from how a stimulation cycle actually consumes coordinator time and clinic money, rather than from generic outpatient office benchmarks.
Comparisons
FertilityWindow compared with the tools clinics already run
Most fertility clinics already own a record system, so the real question is what carries the medication calendar and the daily dose confirmations.
Main guide
How do I build a stimulation medication calendar a patient can actually follow at home?
It settles how to build a stimulation medication calendar a patient can follow at home, from dose language and mixing notes through to trigger night timing.

About
Who writes all of this
Who writes Cycle Desk and builds FertilityWindow, for coordinators and clinic managers who want to know whose experience of the monitoring board sits behind a cycle start checklist before they adopt it.
Keep the checklist, book the demo separately
The comparisons, the two calculators and the cycle start checklist are yours with nothing attached to them. If you would rather watch the workflow run than read about it, a demo covers the calendar build, the monitoring board and what happens when a trigger time goes unacknowledged past your cutoff. Bring a nurse coordinator to the call, since she will ask the questions that actually decide it.
