The NYSDOH posted a revised MOLST form on 12/31/18. The revised MOLST form complies with changes in NYSPHL with regards to the Authority of Nurse Practitioners.

The revised MOLST form does not include suggested clinical edits recommended to improve quality and reduce harm, based on recommendations received from physicians, nurse practitioners, EMS and others who work with patients, families and medical decision makers on a daily basis. Per NYSDOH, “We are working on the comments that we got from the (Advance Care Planning) RFI and are open to additional changes if all can agree.” Additional changes will result in another revised MOLST form estimated to be released in late 2019.

Given our limited budget and human resources, we will not be printing MOLST forms at this time. In the meantime, I encourage you and your organizations to implement eMOLST in your setting and encourage use in the communities you serve. While you’re working on eMOLST implementation, you can print the MOLST form on pulsar pink paper using the above link from the NYSDOH website.
