A MOLST is a bright pink medical order form signed by a New York State licensed physician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner that documents the patient’s Medical Orders for Life–Sustaining Treatment.
A MOLST is done when a patient is residing in a long-term care facility or require or long-term care services or might die within the next year. A MOLST is much like a Living Will in that it dictates which life sustaining treatments a person wishes to avoid or receive.
