[MT-L] MAGIC - Scanning Breast Milk & Forumlas

[Brady, Tim]

Is anyone out there using a scanning solution for verifying the correct patient to the correct breast milk, formula or meals?  If so, I would love to know how you set this up, or if there is a 3^rd party vendor that offers some integrated solution.

 

Thanks!

We have barcode label printers on L & D. We have a barcode label format which is basically a label with the Rx# barcode. The nurses print them out and affix them to the bottle. Works well.

I'm not certain our OB is using it at present, but we created a medication of "BREASTMILK" (even has an EMR-ID)


When a baby is going to Breast Feed, Pharmacy adds this "medication" to the baby's EMar.

OB has a report that prints labels (three across, ten down) that is given to the Mom to label her milk.

At feeding time, OB can scan the baby and milk to verify correct bottle.

Hey Tim-

Using the current MEDITECH functionality of BMV, I have setup a dummy drug BREASTMILK and had an order entered by pharmacy or nursing to generate an entry on the eMAR.  When the order is filed/verified a MAR Label prints.  We have not used those in years, but it works real well here.  You can format a label and put what you need on there (Rx# as barcode, etc.) and  designate that drug to print MAR Labels.  You can also put the function to print more labels on the nursing menu as well.  The printer will be the patient location, so either a separate printer can be installed (usually only talking about one location here), or the LAB printer I have seen used as well. LAB label stock must be able to accommodate the format.

Hello Tim;

If you are looking for Mother/Infant/Milk matching PatientSafeRx.com has a program as part of its RxPro application.  

A 2D Barcode is generated from Meditech for labeling milk collected / or brought in by the mother.  When the milk is returned/administered a barcode scan confirms right milk, right mother / infant combination.  For a hospital system your size the cost is around $250/month.
