The document outlines the New York State Department of Health's policy regarding Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders and Medical Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (MOLST). It introduces the approved MOLST form, which serves as an alternative to the Nonhospital Order Not to Resuscitate, detailing patient preferences for end-of-life care. The policy also explains the Family Health Care Decisions Act, which allows designated individuals to make healthcare decisions for patients unable to do so. Key differences between DNR and MOLST forms are highlighted, including their intended use and legal recognition.

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What is the difference between a DNR and a MOLST?

Your healthcare provider should review your wishes and redocHub the form every 90 days. Although providers may choose to use a form other than the MOLST, the MOLST form is the only form authorized in New York State for documenting Do Not Intubate (DNI) orders outside of the hospital setting.

Is a MOLST form the same as a DNR?

➢ The person with the advanced life limiting illness keeps the MOLST form with them, in a place where it is easy to locate (e.g. on the refrigerator, beside the bed, or on the door), and it should be carried with them outside the home.

How long is a MOLST form good for?

The MOLST form is more specifically tailored to your medical situation and is directed towards medical providers. The Living Will, however, gives a general framework for decision-making and is directed toward your chosen decision-makers and your medical providers.

What is the purpose of a MOLST form?

What is MOLST? Medical Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (MOLST) is a program designed to improve the quality of care patients receive at the end of life by translating patient goals for care and preferences into medical orders.
