In a recent article, Owen Tripp aptly described the demise of Telehealth 1.0 and why it's actually a good thing. We couldn't agree more. As Tripp points out, telehealth must evolve beyond simple phone / video consults or app-based services. And that's why at Frame, we're committed to redefining the telehealth experience. To successfully shape the future of healthcare, telehealth needs to: 👩⚕️ Personalize care and increase access: For us, that means starting with a digital intake that creates your action plan, care team and next steps. Live virtual visits and on-demand support ensure easy access whenever needed. 🎢 Support physical AND mental health: We recognize the importance of both during a  high stress journey like family building. Each patient / couple gets their own  dedicated care team including a mental wellness coach, and we collaborate with partners like Seven Starling and LunaJoy for  more complex needs. ✅ Connect to all healthcare settings: Virtual through Frame ☑ + in-person  through our PCP, Obgyn and fertility clinic partners ☑ ☑ ☑ And we agree, Owen: “That’s the experience people need, want, and deserve, and it’s already here.” https://lnkd.in/ga3xgh6R #telehealth #virtualcare #fertility

Curious how Frame’s virtual model extends in-person care? At Frame, we're dedicated to enhancing the patient experience and strengthening the provider-patient relationship. Our virtual model seamlessly integrates into existing workflows, providing a valuable extension of in-person care. We don’t replace essential in-person appointments; instead, we focus on improving patient follow-through and maintaining strong connections to your practice or health system throughout the fertility and pregnancy journey. Discover why leading healthcare organizations, including health systems, OB/GYNs, primary care groups like Privia Health, choose to partner with Frame to deliver exceptional care in the article linked below in comments. PRO TIP: Stay tuned for next week’s insights on how we further our support for patients going through fertility treatment.

Frame provides meaningful support to donor egg intended parents! In Part 3 of our “Building Your Family Through Egg Donation” series, Sam Marple, Co-President of Fairfax EggBank and Frame CEO and Co-Founder, Jessica Bell van der Wal, talk about some of the challenges intended parents face and what types of support they need. Intended parents often struggle with: 💜Grief and loss related to not being able to use their own eggs 💜Deciding about genetic connection and disclosure to their child 💜Finding an egg donor with the right characteristics, especially for people of color And here’s how Frame can support intended parents: 💜Emotional support: Intended parents often experience grief, loss, and isolation. Having a supportive community and access to mental health resources is crucial for navigating this journey. 💜Educational resources: Providing information and trusted guidance can empower intended parents to make informed decisions and feel more confident in their family building journey. 💜Personalized support: A dedicated, board-certified fertility coach offers a safe space for emotional processing, personalized support, and practical guidance, helping intended parents feel less alone. Building a family through donor egg IVF is a unique journey. We’re excited to partner with Frame to provide even more support to intended parents throughout their donor egg IVF journey. Together we build a family! #eggdonation #intendedparents #frame

We’re big fans of the Inside Reproductive Health podcast (thank you, Griffin Jones!) and especially loved the recent episode featuring Kate Ryder from Maven Clinic, where she discusses the impact of coaching on fertility outcomes. Our perspective on this episode and the vital role of coaches: ✅ A Holistic Care Team: Like Maven, we believe in the immense value of having a coach as part of the broader care team supporting the patient. Coaches play a crucial role in improving patient engagement by offering relatable, empathetic support. They reinforce evidence-based methodologies shared by clinicians, providing check-ins, empathetic feedback, and helping patients stay on track. 🏥 Extending Care Beyond the Clinic: Coaches are particularly valuable in supporting patients between in-person visits. Our health doesn’t adhere to a Monday-Friday, 8-5 schedule, so coaches can offer live or asynchronous support seven days a week. With our OB/GYN and fertility clinic partners, coaches ensure follow-through on next steps—whether it's completing a pre-consult checklist or reminding patients of their Monday 9am ultrasound appointment. We’ve seen no-show rates drop by 78% when coaches are integrated into patients' care plans! 😣 Reducing Stress and Dropout Rates: Most importantly, coaches provide essential emotional and mental wellness support, helping patients stay engaged and reducing fertility treatment dropout rates. The fertility journey is filled with challenges, and coaches help patients feel less alone and more understood along the way. Coaches are a critical piece of the puzzle in improving patient retention and outcomes at every stage of the journey. We’re thrilled to see their impact highlighted in this podcast by one of our favorite partners in the space. Onwards, together! Please find the episode link in comments.

Kudos to Nurx from Thirty Madison for their insightful report on reproductive rights and health. These critical topics demand our attention now more than ever. This report spotlights some of the very real challenges and gaps in women's healthcare, which we see every day at Frame: -Anxiety levels are at an all-time high. For those on their fertility journey (like our Frame patients), this is just stress compounded. -In particular, over 50% are anxious about in-person reproductive/sexual care, and more than one-third are using telehealth for their needs. To reiterate: telehealth is a necessity for women and beyond. -More than 25% have delayed preventative care, which means a greater potential for missed diagnoses, poor health, and bad outcomes. At-home screening has to be part of the equation. It's going to take all of us to continue surfacing how the political climate and world events are impacting health, especially for women. Thank you to the team at Nurx for bringing these issues front and center!
