I am sure that either my manager or the materials management (central  
supply) mgr. gave the information to the formula company. I am also sure  that the 
formula company rep asked for the information so that they could supply  the 
"correct" amount of formula. 
 
I am the one who compiles all of the infant feeding information for our  
"quality improvement". The information goes to my nurse-manager, who in turn  
sends it on to who knows where. It's all about having the right statistics for  
the corporation... 
 
Since the formula companies are doing us such a huge favor in giving us  free 
formula (can you hear the sarcasm in my typing?), what is the problem with  
us giving them a few numbers so that they can give us what we need?  
ARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH

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.
