POLST (Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment)
POLST stands for Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment. It is a medical form that outlines a person’s wishes regarding the treatments they do or do not want in a medical emergency—such as CPR, intubation, feeding tubes, or other life-sustaining measures.
Unlike an advance directive, a POLST is a doctor’s order (signed by both the patient or their representative and a healthcare provider), so it must be followed by emergency medical personnel and healthcare facilities.
Key Facts About POLST:
• Purpose: Specifies which medical treatments you want or don’t want if you’re seriously ill or frail.
• Form type: A medical order—signed by both you (or your representative) and a healthcare provider.
• Scope: Covers multiple treatments, such as CPR, intubation, antibiotics, and feeding tubes.
• When used: For people with serious illness, advanced frailty, or limited life expectancy.
• Who honors it: All healthcare professionals and emergency responders must follow it.
