A reusable diaper evaluation within a children's hospital
1Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.
Abstract:
An evaluation of reusable diapers appears to hold promise for reducing costs and environmental waste within a children's hospital setting. Many factors, including economic, clinical, environmental, and logistical concerns, were considered in this study, which shows cost comparisons and survey assessment results from four separate alternatives. Although reusable diapers may be considered to be a better environmental choice, there are currently not enough overriding incentives to make a switch at this time.
