POLST and the Coronavirus

If you get sick, do your orders match your wishes? In this new short video the Pennsylvania POLST Coalition explains why it is particularly important during the COVID-19 pandemic emergency that POLST orders reflect people’s current wishes for care, and how to change POLST orders if their wishes have changed.

‍Special thanks to Dr. Susan Tolle of the OHSU Center for Ethics in Health and the Oregon POLST Coalition for their leadership and support and the Jewish Healthcare Foundation for the creation of this video. 

The video is found below and at this link, PA POLST and the Coronavirus.
