 Unlike the physician orders (DNR, MOST, POLST) the HCPOA will generally include a listing of various patient preferences for receiving or declining medical treatment.In some jurisdictions - the HCPOA may not carry the same weight with emergency responders (EMTs) because EMTs may not know what form is required for the HCPOA document to be legally binding and the HCPOA may be a multipage document using legal language not understood by the EMT.It is encouraged that patients with complex medical histories fill out their medical information form with their doctor’s help.
