COR status-when to determine

At my LTC, the admissions people used to have the COR status papers of all new residents signed BEFORE they arrived at the facility. Now, the powers that be decided it is the floor nurse's responsibility to do this AFTER the resident has been admitted. Sometimes I can find what the resident and or family want from hospital records, but not all residents arrive from the hospital and I still have to know if they want to be full/no cor. I am forced to rush in the room, ask them that question right away, and then return to finish the admission when I have the time. Isn't that goofy, do you see problems that are going to arise down the road due to this policy?

    What is COR status? Is it like CPR?

    Why is it goofy to have to ask the person when they arrive? When I do an admission that's how we find out. If it's not in their records we ask.

    It stands for Cardiac Or Respiratory zero, or COR zero.

    Cor status refers to whether or not the person wants CPR. I guess to me it's kindof goofy because, depending on when my admission arrives, I may have time to devote to the "discussion" or I may not. What can happen, is that a person might code, before we know what their status is. And guess what, it already HAS happened where a person had CPR initiated on them, only to have family coming in saying NO NO NO, she doesn't want CPR. See where I'm coming from? I think all that should be determined/signed before they are admitted.
