Providers intermittently identifying and addressing POLST with patients does not allow the program to reach its full potential. To have a successful POLST program, research supports including local emergency medical service (EMS) personnel, submitting POLST forms to the registry for easy access, and verifying medically actionable forms. The lack of training and appropriate resources in this clinic can also contribute to POLST inadequacy. Including social workers, religious entities, and program advocates are helpful measures to increase POLST program success. 000009083 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000009083 650__ $$aPrimary Health Care$$024590 000009083 650__ $$aOrganization and Administration$$023272 000009083 650__ $$aUnited States Indian Health Service$$029211 000009083 650__ $$aTerminal Care$$026847 000009083 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000009083 7001_ $$aRodighiero, Alex$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009083 8564_ $$9e7077e84-6e8f-4c3e-906c-49ecd2bed0ab$$s206610$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9083/files/Rodighiero.Alex.2021.pdf 000009083 905__ $$a/rest/prod/b8/51/5p/06/b8515p066 000009083 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9083$$pstudent-work 000009083 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
