ALL- POLST (Providers Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment)
Date: October 5, 2010
Time: 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
Event Description
The difficult discussion about the use of life-sustaining treatments has been with us as long as the treatments themselves. Advance Medical Directives written by patients and do not resuscitate (DNR) orders initiated by physicians, have proven useful but inadequate for the task. Join our discussion about a new tool called Providers Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) that, while not yet available in Bemidji, promises to help guide quality end-of-life care.
