Hi Colleagues! 
Hope you can help me with this question. I'm wondering if a "lactation (nutrition) risk screening" tool exists based on research? 

My hospital is getting a new electronic documentation system called EPIC which is more strictly based on evidence. Presently, our nursing staff have a list that directs them to refer certain babies to the lactation consultants. The list includes: late premature baby, low birth weight, muliples, no latch by 12 hours of age, etc. 

I certainly know which babies are more at risk from my work experience but has anyone actually studied this?

Marie
