An efficient infertility evaluation.
The biological clock is a major adversary to human reproduction. Not only does fecundity wane with time, but so does an infertility patient's emotional reserve. Therefore, a well-organized approach to evaluating, treating, and referring patients to subspecialty centers when necessary is critical to optimally manage infertility. The initial infertility evaluation has undergone evidence-based improvements in efficiency and has demonstrated that less testing has given more useful knowledge.
