A Physician (or Medical) Order for Life-Sustaining Treatment form is a one-page form your physician can use to turn your wishes into specific written medical orders. Your physician may use this form to write orders that reflect the types of life-sustaining treatment that you do or do not want and that are appropriate for your medical si tuation.
To find out what states have POLST/MOLST forms go to www.ohsu.edu/polst or ask your physician if they are available in your state.
