Abstrakt: Digitalization of human milk banking was examined in a survey among participants of the largest German-speaking symposium for human milk banks. Of the 100 participants, 47% were nurses, 23% were physicians, and 3% were midwives. The overwhelming majority (96%) desired more digitalization in their milk bank. The best-digitized processes were clinical results from donors, milk labeling, and milk orders. At the same time, a discrepancy between the maximum conceivable potential and the current implementation of digital transformation became evident. The survey revealed most participants use in-house digital solutions. Potential main advantages of digitalization were cited as efficiency gains, while implementation efforts and security concerns, particularly power outages and cyberattacks, were seen as disadvantages. Financial restraints, personnel shortage, resistance from local IT departments, and legal concerns were perceived as the biggest barriers. Despite these challenges and a critical examination of the disadvantages, the participants expressed strong optimism and a desire for further digitalization in the human milk bank sector.
