Overview

POLST, which is new legislation for Arkansas, passed in August 2017, allows Physician?s orders for end of life treatment or non-treatment. As a legal medical order, emergency personnel are able to follow specific instructions for patients with life expectancy of less than one year. This document is portable across multiple care settings and can be easily modifiable. POLST and Advance Directives are supportive documents used for end of life planning. They support each other but do different things. Healthcare providers will learn communication techniques for broaching end of life conversations as well as steps to implement the POLST forms into current practice.
