Section R432-31-10 - Prior Orders and Out of State Orders(1) EMS and other health care providers may recognize as valid any prior or out of state POLST forms or medical orders for life-sustaining treatment, including the national POLST form. This also includes bracelets and necklaces, unless superseded by a subsequent POLST.(2) Physicians shall complete and sign a new POLST for individuals with prior forms who no longer have capacity to complete new orders, and who do not have a surrogate or guardian to authorize the new order. The physician shall state on the new order that the individual's preferences from the prior order are still applicable.(3) A form that an individual executed while in another state may be honored as if it were executed in compliance with this rule and Section 75-2a-106 if it: (a) is substantially similar to a POLST or a medical order for life-sustaining treatment; and(b) was executed according to the laws of that state.Utah Admin.
