Clearpol's Summary of this Guidance

The California Department of Public Health has issued a letter to all healthcare facilities regarding the new provisions established by Assembly Bill 3000, Chapter 266, Statutes of 2008, which will be effective from January 1, 2009. The letter notifies healthcare providers of the Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST) form, which is a standardized form that seeks to help patients inform healthcare providers what life-sustaining medical interventions and care they would like to receive if they have a compromised medical condition, a prognosis of one year of life, or a terminal illness. The form is recognized, adopted, and honored across treatment settings, and healthcare providers are required to treat a patient in accordance with the POLST form, unless the physician's order requires medically ineffective healthcare or healthcare contrary to generally accepted healthcare standards. The letter does not require healthcare providers to use a POLST form, but requires that healthcare providers honor POLST orders.
