What is the difference between a directive to physicians and a DNR order?

Simply think of it this way: a Directive to Physicians describes the treatment (or lack thereof) you wish to receive in the future when you become too impaired to make decisions. DNR orders are implicit, and describe what should happen to you in the exact moment that you become incapacitated.

What is the difference between physician orders for life sustaining treatment and DNR?

A prehospital DNR form must be signed by you, or your decision maker, and a physician; it cannot be signed by a nurse practitioner or physician assistant. A POLST gives instructions about CPR but allows you to choose whether you want to receive it or refuse it.

Is a POLST form the same as a DNR?

Like a DNR, a POLST form lets EMS know whether or not the patient wants CPR. DNR orders only apply when a person does not have a pulse, is not breathing and is unresponsive. However, in most medical emergencies, a person does have a pulse, is breathing or is responsive. Thats where POLST is different.

What is a physician order for life sustaining treatment?

The Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST) form is a written medical order from a physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant that helps give people with serious illnesses more control over their own care by specifying the types of medical treatment they want to receive during serious illness.

What are physician orders for life sustaining treatment?

The Physician Orders for Life‑Sustaining Treatment (POLST) is a physicians order that outlines a plan for end of life care reflecting both a patients preferences and a physicians judgment based on a medical evaluation.

What is the mental health advance directive in Utah?

Declaration for mental health treatment, also known as a psychiatric or mental health advance directive, is a legal tool that allows a person with mental illness to state their preferences for treatment in advance of a crisis. They can serve as a way to protect a persons autonomy and ability to self-direct care.

What is the difference between POLST and MOLST?

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.

How do I get a POLST form?

POLST forms are medical order forms. They are not available on this website; please contact your state leader if you need a POLST form to bring to your provider. There is a National POLST Form but most states still use their own state version of POLST. Check this map (PDF) to see what your states does.
