MOLST anybody familiar with this?

[gettingupthere]

We have had residents come into our facility with a pink MOLST form from the hospital for awhile now. Does anyone know how they work? We haven't been given guidelines and I don't think anyone at my facility knows how to use them. We still have DNR forms and the MOLST are only good for 48 hrs in our place. We had an incident today that brought these forms to the forfront. Now administration is scrambbling to figure them out!!!!

Anybody???????????????????

I am unfamiliar with this acronym, and upon googling it I found that "MOLST" is specific to the state of New York. Posting on the New York state board may yield more responses. Hope you find what you're looking for.
