MOLST was created by
the Community-wide End of Life Palliative Care Initiative to provide a
single document that would function as an actionable medical order and
could transition with a patient through all health care settings. It is
intended that the form will be transported with the patient between
different health care settings in order that their wishes for
life-sustaining treatment and CPR will be clearly indicated.
MOLST has been modified to be consistent with the Family Health Care
Decisions Act.
