Can residents (physicians in training) sign a MOLST form that serves as an in-patient DNR?
Yes. The MOLST is approved for use in all health care facilities in NYS by NYSDOH. The resident (physician in training) may complete MOLST after a discussion with the attending physician or covering physician and the physician issues a verbal order. The resident notes this in the medical record and the MOLST form and the physician signs the order later.
