We need the ability to use barcode scanning for human milk. This could be similar set up to IV meds. It would need a separate category on the MAR (though as it is not a med it would not need to be on the MAR, that would be the easiest). Non nurses (PCTs, SLPs, OTs) would need special MAR access for that category to be able to use the MAR for milk verification.
This is important because when infants come to the hospital, they are often still consuming human milk as their majority or sole source of nutrition. We have to be able to store this milk. Since the milk leaves the patient's room, we need a way to document that we have verified the milk is going to the correct patient. Armand scanning/barcode scanning is the ideal way to do this (currently we use a paper log).
