Yay, the listserv works! I am technologically challenged so have not been able
to figure out how to post. I have even had trouble getting to the right webpage
because I didn’t book mark. If someone can let me know step by step how to get
to the website and post/respond. I’m sure it’s not too difficult but for some
reason I can’t figure it out.
To answer Tammy’s question, my site does not have any plans for roll out. Not
yet anyhow. The PC team, RNs specifically are in on calls and will be attending
a training regarding this and will inform the rest of the team. If any roll out
were to take place at our site it would definitely come from the PC team and
the RNs tend to be a bit passive so I think I’ll bring it up and try to get
something going (maybe an announcement in our newsletter, a brief training,
push to get rid of old POLST and replace with new). Thanks for the idea!

Subject: [socialworkpc] Revised POLST 2014
Do any of your sites have plans for the roll out of the new POLST form?
The Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) Documentation
Committee has presented its proposed changes to the POLST form to the Emergency
Medical Services Authority, and the changes have been approved to take effect
Oct. 1. The form updates are focused primarily in Section B and were developed
by the POLST Physician Leadership Council to clarify and help patients better
understand treatment options. To preview the 2014 form, download FAQs, see a
timeline for rollout of the changes and find out about upcoming free webinars
