The California POLST task force have conducted their two year review and have released an updated version of the POLST form. Please review the new form and read the Summary of Changes so that you understand what has been changed and why.
It is important to note that CaPOLST.org suggest a best practice of using the revised 2011 POLST form starting April 1, 2011 rather than using up any old forms. Additionally, a POLST form completed prior to the April 1, 2011 date remains valid, meaning they are still good. Lastly, the color of the form has no bearing on its validity.
