POLST is a physician order that helps give seriously ill patients more control over their end-of-life care. Produced on a distinctive bright pink form and signed by both the doctor and patient, POLST specifies the types of medical treatment that a patient wishes to receive towards the end of life.
Programs which are using the National POLST Form (Arizona, Maine, New Hampshire, Iowa, Alabama) are outlined in dark pink; programs that have adapted the National POLST Form are outlined in medium pink (West Virginia, Alaska, Idaho).
The department and the Washington State Medical Association (WSMA) have implemented a Portable Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment form, which will allow a person to summarize their wishes regarding end of life treatment.
Portable Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) is a unique kind of medical order form that captures your wishes for future care as clear and specific medical orders, indicating what types of life-sustaining treatment you want or do not want in the case of a medical emergency.
Copies and faxes of POLST are valid. The original, signed POLST travels with the patient. Whenever possible, ensure the Advance Directive (if one exists) and POLST form are consistent with each other.

POLST forms vary from state to state, and may differ in name and structure depending on which state you live in\u2014but they're conceptually the same across all states. Many states do not yet have a POLST form.
The primary difference between and POLST and DNR is that a POLST covers a variety of end-of-life treatments. A DNR only gives instructions about CPR. With a POLST, seniors can specify: If they do or don't want CPR.
