We are re-vamping our process for handling human milk in our NICU.  Currently our hospital uses EPIC, which our version only allows 1 bottle to be scanned per minute, and does not do inventory tracking.

For hospitals using EPIC-- are there upgrades that allow for better functionality?  Or do you have similar limitations?
 
If your hospital uses a different scanning system, can you please share what that system is?  And whether you have a milk lab, or bedside nurses do all milk management?

You can reply directly to my home or work email if that’s easier.

Thank you so much!

Christina
