How does POLST Work Across Settings?

POLST works across the continuum of care. It’s the first statewide, uniform physician order that is recognized across care settings. Since the POLST form travels with patients when they move from one residential or medical setting to another, it ensures that the physician orders travel with them. As a result, POLST provides clarity about a patient’s wishes for physicians, nurses, emergency responders, and other health care providers.
