POLST
Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment Paradigm
The POLST Paradigm goal is to effectively communicate the wishes of seriously ill patients to have or to limit medical treatment as they move from one care setting to another. POLST Paradigm forms are now available in many states and may have a different name. We use the term POLST Paradigm to describe these programs in general.
