During the COVID-19 emergency, the immense value of thoughtful end-of-life discussions and documentation of medical orders was recognized by health systems in all settings across our state. Advance directives such as the New York Health Care Proxy and Living Will and medical orders documented on the Medical Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (MOLST), when appropriate, are key tools to assure your wishes are honored. Start your conversation today! Over the next few weeks we will provide links and tools to help you make sure your wishes are honored.

It's interesting to know that the legal discussion and documentation of medical orders have been recommended by the health systems of a state. I guess having a living will help with that aspect and ensure that you are protected when that time comes. Personally, I want to make sure that my husband will be making all the decisions for me because I know that he would wish the best for me. Leave a Reply. |
