A POLST is more comprehensive than a Do Not Resuscitate order. A DNR is a stand-alone document that tells emergency medical personnel whether to perform CPR if your heart and breathing stop and you are unresponsive. A POLST includes your instructions about whether or not to perform CPR, but it doesnt stop there.
National POLST Model Form A copy of this publication may be downloaded, stored, or printed for personal use only; all other uses require written permission.
However, POLSTs do not appoint someone to speak on your behalf (surrogate or health care agent) which Advance Directives generally do. In a POLST, you specify exactly what you want and dont want and for how long. They have the force of medical orders and must be honored by emergency medical technicians (EMTs).
POLST or POST (physician/provider orders for life-sustaining treatment). MOLST (medical orders for life-sustaining treatment). COLST (clinician orders for life-sustaining treatment). MOST (medical order for scope of treatment).
MOLST and POLST are two acronyms defining medical orders. The MOLST is the Medical Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment and the POLST is the Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment. Theyre both the same thing, but in different states they call them by those two different names.
