If you’ve ever tried to get doctors, embryologists, and executives on the same page…you’ll want to hear this one.In this episode of Inside Reproductive Health, Dr. Alison Bartolucci (CSO) and Cara Reymann (CEO) of First Fertility talk candidly about leadership, lab management, and network-wide decision-making.They discuss:– The emotional cost of leading a fertility network– When to build consensus (and when to just drive the bus)– The decision to implement digital witnessing across all nine IVF labs– The “magic question” Cara uses to align stakeholders– Why First Fertility abandoned plans for a single EMR– Why Alison swears by using a lab monitoring service (and the business benefits beyond happy embryologists)
