There have been more legislative changes and advances in health care decision making this year than in the last 20 years.  The statutory forms for the living will, medical power of attorney and CPR directives are more useful than ever before and the introduction of the MOST document adds a whole new dimension to excellent end-of-life care.  The careful implementation of the MOST is as important as its introduction in Colorado.  In this session we’ll review the changes and talk about how to make them work individually and as a community.
