Treatment Preferences Templates
Are you looking to make your medical treatment preferences known? The Treatment Preferences document group is designed to help you do just that. Also known as the Advance Directive for Health Care or the IDPH Uniform Practitioner Order for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) form, this collection of documents allows you to express your wishes regarding medical treatments and interventions.
Whether you reside in Georgia, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Alaska, or any other state, it's important to have a legally binding document that outlines your treatment preferences. The Treatment Preferences documents provide a way for you to communicate your desires for life-sustaining treatments, resuscitation, feeding tubes, and other medical interventions.
By completing an Advance Directive for Health Care form, you can ensure that your medical decisions align with your personal beliefs and values. This document allows you to appoint a healthcare proxy who will advocate for your preferences if you become unable to communicate them yourself. It also helps healthcare providers understand your treatment choices and ensure they are respected.
Alternatively, the IDPH Uniform Practitioner Order for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST) form is a medical order that outlines your specific preferences for end-of-life care. This document is typically completed with the assistance of a healthcare professional and provides instructions for healthcare providers in emergency situations.
Regardless of the specific form or document used in your state, having a Treatment Preferences document in place gives you peace of mind knowing that your wishes will be honored should a healthcare decision-making situation arise. Take control of your medical treatment decisions today by creating your own Treatment Preferences document.
