Research: Barcode Systems Save 2,000+ Hours Per Year
The peer-reviewed research article titled “Breast Milk Bar Code Scanning Results in Time Savings and Staff Efficiency” by Caroline Steele, Amanda Czerwin, and Christine Bixby was published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutritional and Dietetics in January 2015. The study found that:
- 2,380 hours per year saved per organization by implementing a breast milk bar code scanning solution
- 1,040 hours completely eliminated for a cost savings
- 1,340 hours available for other patient-care duties.
- This time savings resulted in cost savings and improved efficiency.

TMS in action at Mount Sinai Hospital
A
t Timeless Medical Systems, our mission is to improve the health of newborns by providing cutting-edge neonatal nutritional software to hospitals. We are thrilled to announce that our software has been implemented in the pediatric health department at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, Canada.
Mount Sinai Hospital is a renowned healthcare institution that is committed to providing the best possible care to their patients. We were honored to partner with them to showcase our software in action. An informational video was filmed at the hospital, highlighting the software’s capabilities and its impact on neonatal health.
The video features interviews with healthcare professionals who have used our software and have seen its benefits firsthand. They discuss how the software has helped them manage the nutritional needs of premature and sick newborns, ensuring that they receive the proper nutrients and are able to grow and develop as they should.
We are extremely proud to be contributing to the health of newborns and being a part of Mount Sinai Hospital’s neonatal health solution. Our software is designed to simplify the complex process of managing the nutritional needs of premature and sick infants, allowing healthcare professionals to focus on what matters most – providing quality care to their patients.
At Timeless Medical Systems, we are dedicated to developing innovative solutions that improve the health and well-being of newborns. We believe that every child deserves the best possible start in life, and we are committed to making that a reality.
We would like to thank Mount Sinai Hospital for their partnership and for allowing us to showcase our software in action. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and making a positive impact on neonatal health.
Research: Breastmilk Handling Software Reduces Feeding Errors
During the first 6 months of breastmilk bar code scanning, 55 attempts to feed the wrong breastmilk to the wrong patient and 127 attempts to feed expired breastmilk were prevented.
Research: Barcodes Improve Patient Safety & Efficiency
The research article titled “Barcode scanning of human milk and enteral formulas improves efficiency and patient safety: A 7-year review” published in Nutrition in Clinical Practice evaluated the impact of barcode scanning on patient safety when using Human Milk and formulas.
The study found that barcode scanning systems that offer features beyond identifying the correct human milk, such as calculating fortified HM and formula recipes, tracking product lot numbers, and verifying correct products to the provider order, can further improve patient safety as well as improve efficiency.
Timeless Medical Systems offers the Women & Infants System™, the market’s most comprehensive feeding solution that advances patient safety throughout the entire feeding process.
It is important to note that the study was conducted independently at a facility utilizing the Timeless Women & Infants System™ with no financial incentive provided by Timeless Medical Systems.
