Online Topics Module - POLST and Other Advance Medical Directives

This registration option is for the POLST and Other Advance Medical Directives Topic Module only. It is not for the FULL Online Topics Modules series or the FULL Certificate Program.

Each of the modules in the Online Topics Modules series cover key components of the POLST process, purpose, form, validity, content, signatures, and legal requirements. All the modules were offered live to start, but are now available for on-demand access. Each module is 30 minutes, including didactic content and a real-world case study by a POLST expert. An additional 15-minute Q&A was included in the live presentation and summarized in a handout for the ondemand versions.

There is no continuing education available for individual modules. 

POLST and Other Advance Medical Directives

In this module, we discuss the relationship between POLST, the Prehospital DNR, and an advance healthcare directive (AHCD). We will review what does each form do and not do; when to use which form; which form takes precedence at what time; and the rules around honoring the directives.
