It is 2 pm in the afternoon, Brenda is at home setting at the dinning room table doing her home work. Deep in thought Brenda is approached by her son Christopher.
Christopher- Hi mom, what are you doing?

Brenda looks up at Christopher.
Brenda- I m doing my home work, it is due tomorrow.

Christopher curiously looks over Brenda's shoulder and ask.
Christopher- Mom what does P-O-L-S-T mean?


Brenda looks up at Christopher and replies.
Brenda- The letters stand for Physician's Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment. It is a physician's order form that outlines a plan of care reflecting the patient's wishes concerning care at life's end. The POLST (AB 3000) became a California law on January 1, 2009. It is completely voluntary and it requires that all health care providers honor a patients POLST orders.

Brenda- When the POLST was implement at kaiser January 1, 2009. I gave a short presentation to the home health nurses at kaiser introducing the form to them. It went very well.

Christopher asks with a curious look on his face.
What dose a POLST form look like?

Brenda describes the POLST.
Brenda-The POLST form is a bright pink form for medical orders. A physician uses the form to write orders that indicate what types of life-sustaining treatment you do or do not want if you become seriously ill. The POLST form asks for information about
Your preferences for resuscitation
Medical conditions
Use of antibiotics
Artificially administered fluids and nutrition

The POLST form provides orders that reflect the patients wishes for use by paramedics, doctors and nurses until further orders can be decided on and written.

Christopher ask.
Can the POLST be used at any hospital?

Brenda responds.
Yes, the POLST form is used throughout the state at any hospital, it remains with the patient regardless if they are moved between different health care settings. If the patient lives at home, the original pink POLST form is keep where emergency responders can find it. If the patient lives in a long term care facility, the POLST form is kept in the patient's chart.

Christopher asks with a confused look on his face.
How does the POLST form help the patient?

Brenda responds
It allows the patient to communicate their own wishes instead of leaving it up to family members , it clarifies treatment and minimizes confusion about the patient wishes, it assists health care providers and health care facilities in promoting patient autonomy.

Image with CC

Nevertheless, the most important reason for having POLST order is that it allows the patient to make and change their own end of life wish so that family members won't be obligated to make the discussions for them.

  1. Hi Brenda, Looking good. Your story begins with a question, and provides the viewer with increasing information as it progresses. And the format is 'user-friendly', the viewers will be able to visualize themselves asking Christopher's questions. Well done.
