POLST and DNR requirements

Unlike other forms that can be self-created and legally binding POLST and DNR forms require the review and signature of a healthcare provider. The forms are invalid if not signed by a provider.

Some states simply use the National POLST form and not a POLST form specific to that state. The National POLST form is acceptable for states with POLST programs but without specific forms.

While POLST and DNR forms are available in various languages for ease of education and understanding, the signed forms must be in English.

NEBRASKA POLST

No POLST program presently.

NEBRASKA DNR
