National POLST is a small health care organization focused on improving the quality of care for seriously ill or frail patients by developing and promoting portable medical orders that reflect patient treatment preferences. Its POLST program governs how treatment wishes—such as decisions about CPR and hospital transfers—are documented in advance and honored by emergency personnel, complementing the broader advance care planning process. Serving health care settings and patients within the United States, the group positions itself within the hospitals and health care industry by providing a standardized mechanism to move patient wishes upstream into clinical decision-making. Based in the Washington, D.C. area, the organization emphasizes voluntary participation and aims to ensure that patients’ goals of care and quality of life are incorporated into treatment plans when care needs to be provided. A recent development indicates a partnership with MyDirectives to support online POLST completion and retention, reflecting its ongoing efforts to integrate digital tools into advance care planning.
