Is a POLST form the same as a DNR?

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.

What is the difference between a POLST and a HCD?

While Health Care Directives are prepared in advance of medical issues, POLST forms are completed when a new critical medical condition arises or when changes to a current condition take place.

Whats the difference between MOLST and POLST?

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.
