EmpowerPOLST.com: Ensuring Patient Wishes with POLST and DNR Forms
EmpowerPOLST enables secure, accurate POLST and DNR forms so patient care preferences are clearly documented and honored across healthcare settings.
Understanding POLST and DNR Forms
A POLST form is a medical order for those with serious illnesses or advanced frailty, reflecting their preferences for treatments like resuscitation or mechanical ventilation. Unlike an Advance Directive, a POLST is intended for immediate medical care and varies by state. EmpowerPOLST.com ensures your POLST is compliant with state-specific regulations, securing and protecting patient wishes with accuracy and reliability.
DNR (Do Not Resuscitate)
A DNR order instructs healthcare providers not to perform CPR if a patient’s heart stops or they stop breathing. Essential for those preferring not to undergo aggressive resuscitation efforts due to terminal conditions or a desire for a natural death, EmpowerPOLST.com helps ensure that medical care aligns with patient wishes, providing clear and secure documentation.
Ensure your wishes are respected.
