Can the State DNR form and/or Medic Alert medallion be used in a skilled nursing facility or hospice?
Yes. We encourage the adoption of the form for use by such facilities; however, many facilities do not know of the form, or they have their own in place, which may not be recognizable to the EMT or paramedic. If you have any concerns about the ability of the responding EMS personnel to be able to follow your DNR wishes, you would be well advised to obtain and wear a MedicAlert bracelet or medallion.
