So like as an example, in New York State, if someone has no healthcareproxy that they’ve designated, there is a legal structure by which we can assign a surrogate, whereas other states don’t have that same structure. Again I mentioned long term care, outpatient, inpatient, maybe even, you know, Medicare enrollment.
Was before the Medicare hospice benefit. And one was the Medicare hospice benefit. I think we shouldn’t be doing advanced care planning before somebody has a serious illness or something that’s likely to end their lives, beyond having a healthcareproxy. It was really ancient times in our field. Susan: Yes.
It’s not the tool itself, it’s that doctors are handing out POLSTs to people at they’re welcome to Medicare or annual wellness exams. It would have a CPR section and then it would have a healthcareproxy section. People who just want to default treatment. Don’t give that person a POLST.
