Our lactation program, which began in 1989 with 1 LC and a Breastfeeding
Committee. It has now overgrown its bounds and we are looking to re-organize
but are interested in finding a program with a comprehensive focus and
insightful philosophy that we could model our re-organization after. Here are
some of our current questions:
1. How many deliveries do you have per year?
2. How many LC's do you have on staff? How many FTE's?
3. Do you see all patients each day? Problem- only patients? Primips and/or discharges?
4. Do you utilize a referral system for patient contacts? Who refers?
5. Do you only see in-pts. or do you have an out-pt. component to your program? Who sees these pts.?
6. Do you cover 7 days a week including holidays? Which shifts?
7. What is the patient load daily for each LC?
8. Do you have a telephone hot-line for patient questions/ concerns? Who fields these calls?
9. Are you a Baby Friendly Hospital?
Any information that you could share would be so helpful. Thank you for any
insight that you can provide.
