Abstract
We aimed to capture milk feeding type in real time in a racially and socioeconomically diverse population. An electronic tool to assess milk feeding type at every medical visit for children aged 0 to 2 years was designed and incorporated into nursing workflows. The Milk Box tool was successfully added to the electronic clinical workspace of a large health system. There were eight clinics, with diverse characteristics, which incorporated the use of the Milk Box tool over 12 months. Time to 50% uptake of Milk Box varied from 3 to 5 months. Time to >80% uptake varied from 6 to 8 months. Our results show that Milk Box can be quickly incorporated into a clinical workflow when the team is given appropriate training and support. The tool also allows a primary care practice to study local breast milk consumption trends and to provide both individualized and system-level lactation support.

Charles Thomas Wood
Dr. Wood’s research focuses on interventions to prevent obesity during early childhood. His approaches include behavior change strategies, clinical risk prediction tools, and electronic health record clinical decision support. He examines the interactions between appetitive behaviors, feeding strategies, and childhood adiposity to develop pragmatic interventions in the primary care setting. Dr. Wood is involved in teaching and clinical care in the primary care and inpatient newborn settings. He maintains broad engagement in both observational and interventional research relevant to the practice of evidence-based pediatric primary care.
