A Quality Improvement Project to Decrease Human Milk Errors in the NICU

The objective of this study was to describe a quality improvement initiative that was associated with a reduction in human milk administration errors identified over a 6-year period in a typical, large NICU setting.

“From 2009 to 2015, the most common scanning errors identified were due to expired milk, wrong milk-to-wrong-infant, and preparation errors.”

The Timeless Medical Women & Infants System™ has stopped over two million critical errors, prevented the administration of over eight million expired feeds and safely administered over one-hundred million feeds.
