1. Now the ABM COs want hospitals to limit the amt of free RTF they use?
What is behind this new concept?
2. Who in your hospital gathers infant feeding data and where is it stored?
On the surface, someone at your hospital gave the info to the formula
company. Not all  hospitals monitor infant feeding data. Obviously the
hospital gave them census data.
3. They must also gather data from WIC on how many birth at which hospitals.
