CONCLUSIONS based on 2 years of data.
- Implementation of a Breast Milk Tracking System (Keriton) is associated with increased Breast Milk provision and less exclusive formula use at discharge from the Baystate NICU
- Any Breast Milk at Discharge (pre-Keriton) 62.3% vs (post-Keriton) 75.6% with p-value 0.002
- Exclusive Formula at Discharge (pre-Keriton) 37.7% vs (post-Keriton) 24.4% with p-value 0.002
- Increased parental communications using the parent-facing Kare Connect app & decreased Breast Milk errors may have contributed to the overall improvement in Breast Milk provision
