Physician FAQs In New Hampshire
Can Physicians Sign POLST/POST/MOLST/MOST/COLST Forms in New Hampshire?
In New Hampshire, physicians are legally authorized to sign Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) forms. These forms serve as medical orders guiding end-of-life care preferences and treatments for individuals with serious or life-limiting illnesses. By signing a POLST form, physicians provide written instructions regarding the patient’s wishes for medical interventions. POLST forms facilitate open communication between patients, families, and healthcare providers about the patient’s goals and preferences for care, ensuring that their end-of-life care aligns with their values and beliefs. The POLST program in New Hampshire involves healthcare providers, hospitals, nursing homes, and community organizations, promoting advance care planning and ensuring access to quality end-of-life care aligned with patient preferences.
Can Physicians Sign Do Not Resuscitate Orders in New Hampshire?
In New Hampshire, physicians can sign Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders to prevent CPR and other life-sustaining measures when medically futile or against the patient’s wishes. Physicians assess the patient’s condition and preferences before issuing a DNR order, which must be documented in the medical record and communicated to healthcare professionals. DNR orders are not absolute and can be revoked or modified by the patient or their healthcare proxy if their condition changes or wishes evolve. New Hampshire’s legal framework protects patient autonomy and ensures their end-of-life care aligns with their preferences.
