Overview

Medcordance is an advance care planning platform and an electronic registry for POLST (physician orders for life-sustaining treatment) that enables clinicians to upload and view POLST and Advance Healthcare Directives in real time during transitions of care. By identifying the treatment preferences of patients with terminal conditions, clinicians honor a patient’s end-of-life wishes. When patients elect limited and comfort care and electronically share POLST through Medcordance, hospitals and skilled nursing facilities can partner in reducing unnecessary readmissions and focus on giving patient-centered care.
