Request for Proposals (RFP)Consultant to Review and Analyze International Data Systems for Patient OutcomesIssued by: Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society (CFAS)RFP Number: CFAS-2025-01Date of Issue: November 11th, 2025Submission Deadline: January 11th, 20261. IntroductionThe Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society (CFAS) invites proposals from qualified consultants or consulting firms to undertake a comprehensive comparative analysis of international and national database models of treatment outcome data systems. The purpose of this initiative is to provide CFAS with evidence-based recommendations to guide decision-making for supporting a modernized, interoperable, and technologically advanced national fertility data framework and database.The CFAS wants to understand the health information database landscape broadly to ensure that national data is collected and accessible in a way that maximizes efficiency and capitalizes on Artificial Intelligence (AI) advancement. The envisioned system should be nimble, capable of dynamic updates, interoperable across fertility clinic electronic medical record (EMR) systems, and adaptable to future innovations including artificial intelligence (AI) applications and data analytics. The goal is to ensure aggregate national data of fertility outcomes is 1) accurate and credible 2) accessible for researchers, policy makers, the public 3) available to clinics in ‘real-time’ intervals, to be able to compare performance nationally, to facilitate key learnings and raise the bar on quality across Canada.2. BackgroundThe Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society (CFAS) is the recognized national multidisciplinary authority in reproductive health, representing professionals working in fertility and andrology, in the areas of research, medicine, mental health, science, and law.The Society’s members include clinicians, scientists, embryologists, nurses, lawyers, counsellors, and allied professionals committed to advancing reproductive health and patient care across Canada. The CFAS is one of the oldest professional Societies, entering its 72nd year. The mission of the CFAS is to responsibly advance reproductive science and medicine in Canada through leadership, research and guidance. It is responsible for the balanced advancement of the Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) field in Canada, prioritizing evidence-based decision making to the benefit of Canadians and children born of this technology.Currently, fertility treatment outcome data in Canada is coordinated through BORN Ontario (Better Outcomes Registry &amp; Network), which links in-vitro fertilization treatment data to provincial birth outcomes and receives some infrastructure funding from the Government of Ontario. Participating clinics voluntarily share their data with BORN to populate the Canadian Assisted Reproductive Technologies Registry (CARTR). This system of data collection has been in place since 2013, and collects data from clinics both within Ontario (who are required to report funded cycles from the Ontario Funded Program to BORN) and clinics across Canada.The CFAS seeks to understand the current databases in the fertility space, and leverage key learnings from other international systems, such as:<ul><li>The Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) database in the United States;</li><li>The European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) data platform EuMAR creation (which aims to build on these national-level registries and develop a pan-European registry of prospective cycle-by-cycle data on the use and outcomes of MAR treatments).</li></ul>In addition, national systems of health/patient treatment outcomes should also be analyzed to ensure emerging domestic innovations that use advanced technologies are included, such as:<ul><li>Private database developers offering modular or AI-driven fertility data solutions; and</li><li>The Toronto University Health Network (UHN) and its related hospital data infrastructure, known for its integrated digital platforms and advanced use of data analytics and AI in clinical care.</li></ul>These are examples of potential leaders in this area.
