Kentucky law recognizes three types of advance directives: Living Will; Designation of Health Care Surrogate; Advance Directive for Mental Health Treatment.
An advance directive is a direction from the patient, not a medical order. In contrast, a POLST form consists of a set of medical orders that applies to a limited population of patients and addresses a limited number of critical medical decisions.
A POA generally cannot override an advance directive (also known as a living will).
One difference between a POLST form and an advance directive is that the POLST form is designed to be actionable throughout an entire community. It is immediately recognizable and can be used by doctors and first responders (including paramedics, fire departments, police, emergency rooms, hospitals and nursing homes).
Your medical provider does not have the power to override any aspect of the directives set forth in your Living Willnor does your next of kin. If you want your spouse or some other party to be able to make the call on these end-of-life decisions, you would need to give them healthcare power of attorney.
