We are very pleased to announce in June 2023 that our Hawaiʻi POLST form will be getting some improvements.
After reviewing the national POLST form, improvements made in other states, and input from local key informants, the statewide POLST Task Force agreed on some improvements. More
Please join us at the June 29 Kōkua Mau meeting at 3pm to learn about the changes.
Speakers:
- Dr. Daniel Fischberg – Improvements to the POLST form
- Dr. Libby Char – POLST and First Responders
- Dr. Sarah Racsa – POLST and out-of-hospital situations
- Q&A
The new form will be up on the website by June 29.
Remember that current POLST forms are still valid and we encourage you to use the newest version when it is ready. To read more about POLST visit our website at: kokuamau.org/polst
To help educate the community about these changes, we look to you for help. We will be uploading the recording of the session to our website, which you can share with colleagues. If you would like a short article for an in-house newsletter to highlight the changes and the importance of POLST, please let us know.
