The life-sustaining treatment order for the selected patient indicates that the options were not discussed with the patient or a surrogate. Any MD, NP, PA, CNM, or medical student who writes orders for the patient is prompted to update the order.
The reminder is timed to appear one time only, on the third day of admission for patients in intensive care, and the tenth day for all other patients.
