Advanced Directives/Medical Emergencies: Dear AL Provider Letter Issued

On May 28, DSHS/ALTSA released a Dear Assisted Living Provider letter:

The purpose of this letter is to clarify the emergency response requirements that apply to assisted living facilities and to rescind and replace a July 2012 letter (ALF #2012-011), which only provided information about a form called "physician's orders for life-sustaining treatment" or POLST.
