IHR Hosted Egg Donor Database - Home Page

IHR studied dozens of online egg donor databases and incorporated the very best features to develop our Hosted Egg Donor Database. The IHR Database will help you showcase your egg donors so that prospective recipients will want to select your donors.  This page discusses Features and Benefits. All of the following features and benefits also apply to IHR's new Surrogate Database.

Benefits

1. Increase customer service and selection of your donors

Today, many prospective recipients want, and expect to find, a selection of online donors, rather than go into your office and look through your hardcopy profiles. Prospective recipients will be more motivated to select your displayed donors because they can:

• easily search through the database to find the type of donor they are looking for
• view lots of a donor's photos which help them connect with that donor
• view lots of detailed donor information
• view the donors in an attractive displayed

2. Reduce your staff time and expenses

• You don't have to hire a programmer to build and maintain a donor database, thus dramatically reducing your costs to display your donors online. You would typically pay a programmer thousands of dollars for this type of feature-rich database. IHR maintains the database and does all the work for you.
• Egg donor data is easy to add, reducing your staff time.
• You can distribute donor information electronically. You won't have to photocopy and mail donor packets.
• Recipients can look online to see if you have new donors or if a donor becomes available for them. They no longer need to continually call your office to get the latest information.
