I am on the Core Team at my hospital as we implement a computerized
charting and documentation system. We are part of a 19-hospital
state-wide market (Columbia) and so whatever one of us does, the
other 18 do as well. I am building the documentation screens for
OB and nursery and have taken advatange of a great opportunity.
The Georgia Division of Columbia will now call the thing you put on
the top of a bottle a "teat" {thanks Kathy A.}. I explained this
to non-OB type people and they were amazed and understood. Also
the word "formula" is out the door as we will use ABM. I am hoping
that this will help spread the word that Breast is not just Best--
Breast is It, anything else is substandard!!
