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.
