  <rationale value="Exclusive breast milk feeding for the first 6 months of neonatal life has long been the
   expressed goal of World Health Organization (WHO), Department of Health and Human Services
   (DHHS), American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and American College of Obstetricians and
   Gynecologists (ACOG). ACOG has recently reiterated its position (ACOG, 2007). A recent
   Cochrane review substantiates the benefits (Kramer et al., 2002). Much evidence has now
   focused on the prenatal and intrapartum period as critical for the success of exclusive
   (or any) BF (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2007; Petrova et al., 2007;
   Shealy et al., 2005; Taveras et al., 2004). Exclusive breast milk feeding rate during
   birth hospital stay has been calculated by the California Department of Public Health
   for the last several years using newborn genetic disease testing data. Healthy People
   2010 and the CDC have also been active in promoting this goal."/>

  <guidance value="A discharge to a designated cancer center or children's hospital should be captured as
   a discharge to an acute care facility. It is acceptable to calculate Gestational Age using
   the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists ReVITALize guidelines, which define
   Gestational Age as calculated using the best obstetrical Estimated Due Date (EDD) based
   on the formula: Gestational Age= (280-(EDD-Reference Date))/7 where Reference Date is
   the date on which you are trying to determine gestational age. For PC-05, Reference Date
   is the Birth Date. Note however that the calculation may yield a non-whole number and
   gestational age should be rounded off to the nearest completed week. For example, an infant
   born on the 5th day of the 36th week (35 weeks and 5/7 days) is at a gestational age of
   35 weeks, not 36 weeks."/>
