Provider Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST) 2017 – FACILITATOR Education Program @ Speare at Boulder Point Community Room
Jun 28 @ 8:00 am – 4:00 pm

POLST-trained facilitators are often physicians, APRNs, social workers or nurses responsible for developing plans of care for residents of long-term care facilities, home health, or hospice. Without an emphasis on the importance of ACP discussions and qualified facilitators, completion of the POLST form runs the risk of repeating the failures of past standard AD efforts that have focused only on form completion.

POLST was implemented statewide in New Hampshire in 2013 and we are offering training to health providers who want to be certified as POLST facilitators for colleagues and staff in their organization and community.

The course focuses on communication skills— initiating POLST conversations, assisting in making informed end-of-life decisions, and learning techniques to create POLST plans. The successful implementation of a POLST program must be complemented by professionals who have developed the necessary communication skills to initiate advance care planning discussions that help individuals establish medical and non-medical goals of care.

To Register: Email mkane@spearehospital.com with your name, agency, and contact information by June 9th to ensure space is available

This Event is Free of charge and funded by a grant from Community Health Services Network, LLC
