What are the three types of advance directives?
Because the purpose of a health care power of attorney is different from that of an advance directive, a health care agent usually do not have the authority to change or revoke the advance directives of the person they represent.
Is an advance directive the same as a POLST form?
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.
What is the single critical difference between an advance medical directive and a POLST document?
Advance Directives: POLSTs give specific directions about treatments during an emergency if you cannot speak for yourself. However, POLSTs do not appoint someone to speak on your behalf (surrogate or health care agent) which Advance Directives generally do.
Is a POLST different from an advance directive?
You do not need an attorney to complete the form. The form also does not have to be notarized. You do need a disinterested witness. You can find the form for the Utah Advance Healthcare Directive and instructions for completing it at .
