NJHA works closely with industry partners on critical issues related to advance care planning, from Do-Not-Resuscitate Orders, to palliative care to POLST.
NJHA has collaborated with the Medical Society of New Jersey through its Biomedical Ethics Committee since 1997 in the development of Out-of-Hospital Do-Not-Resuscitate protocols. These protocols allow patients at home, through their physicians, to choose comfort measures over aggressive resuscitative attempts at the end of life.
The New Jersey Chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians received a chapter grant from the American College of Emergency Physicians to publish and distribute educational materials regarding Out-of-Hospital Do-Not-Resuscitate protocols. NJHA supports the guidelines.
The following materials are made possible by a chapter grant from the American College of Emergency Physicians to the New Jersey Chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians. These resources were developed by and reprinted with the permission of The Medical Society of New Jersey, New Jersey HealthDecisions and The New Jersey Chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians.
