Abstract
Background Feeding management in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is complex and susceptible to human error. Purpose The purpose of this project was to decrease the incidence of expressed human milk (EHM) left behind at time of NICU discharge. Methods The Keriton mobile application was implemented as a feeding management system in a level IV NICU in New York. A pre-/post-quasi experimental design was used for this quality improvement project. Results There was a relative 89% reduction in occurrence of EHM left behind at time of NICU discharge. Implications For Practice And Research: It is recommended to continue using a feeding management system, such as the Keriton mobile application, to manage EHM at time of NICU discharge.
