POLST, known in South Carolina as POST, or Physician Orders for Scope of Treatment, is a standardized medical order designed for use as a part of advance care planning. POST is not an advance directive. It allows patients with a serious illness to choose which medical treatment(s) they want to receive and identify those they do not. POST also provides direction to health care providers for patients with a serious illness and is a portable document that transfers with the patient.
