Empolst is a healthcare planning tool that allows individuals to work closely with their medical team to detail their personal goals and medical preferences when facing a serious illness. It is a statewide program in New Jersey that helps patients and families with end-of-life care planning by creating a POLST form, which is an actual medical order that becomes a part of the individual's medical record and is valid in all healthcare settings.
With Empolst, patients and their medical professionals become partners in ensuring that the patient's wishes are expressed and respected, making important decisions about their end-of-life care. The program provides a central repository for POLST forms across the state, allowing healthcare professionals including emergency responders to access and share the forms easily, integrating them with the patient's current medical record.
