Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) is an advanced care planning tool which aims to facilitate End-of-Life communication between a dying patient and medical providers. Our research team examined the status of POLST program implementation across U.S. and identified state-level variations in how infection management is captured in POLST forms.
