Hospital LCs or others: Do you use any rating criteria on your patients as to their level of complexity/degree of care needed? This is usually done for fee charging purposes and can be done for staffing purposes as well. My boss has asked me to develop "4 levels of evaluation and management" of bf inpatients. For example, level one might be a multipara who has bf a previous infant and has no identified risk factors in herself and her infant for current lactation. Level two might be a primip without risk factors. My boss will be giving me further details on this soon, but I thought I would ask now and if any of you have such a system, would you be able to share it with me? If anyone else has any ideas as to how to describe the 4 levels, feel free to chime in. Thanks. Laurie Wheeler, IBCLC, MN, RN New Orleans Louisiana, s.e.
