Closing a Clinic – Future Benefits will
transfer to new clinic
One Year Certification for Children
11 month old
• For existing clients who are > 11 months of age, AND that have
had a Cert Complete checked at some time in the past.
• If a client has never had a record with “Cert Complete” checked,
the system will assign a 6-month certification period.
POTENTIAL August Release Changes:
BP Moms and NPP Food Package
•
Partially Breastfeeding Moms will have the option to
choose an NPP Food Package ONLY after the baby is
one month old.
•
Goal: to promote successful initiation of breastfeeding
and continued duration – this helps to prevent the over
issuance of formula during the critical time a mother is
establishing her milk supply.
Inclusion in the August Release will be confirmed in the Release Notes
