IMS CE Webinar Series: IPOST Training
Join us on Tuesday, April 16 for the "IPOST: Putting Impactful Conversations into Action" webinar. The Iowa Physician Orders for Scope of Treatment (IPOST) form is a dynamic and actionable provider order form that has been in use in Iowa for over a decade. It is part of the national Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST) movement which has been pushing to drive critical conversations, through shared decision making, and capture them in a provider order that is both transportable and clearly actionable towards the patients spoken goals and wishes.
Understanding how to utilize the form is paramount to helping defragment a health system that is often riddled with challenges in communication between providers. Learn more and register on the IMS website today!
