POLST stands for "Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment." It is a medical order designed to communicate a patient’s preferences regarding end-of-life care, particularly concerning resuscitation and other life-sustaining treatments. POLST forms are typically used for patients with serious illnesses or those nearing the end of life, ensuring their wishes are respected by healthcare providers. The form is signed by both the patient and a physician, making it a legally recognized document in many states.
