The Indiana Physician Orders for Scope of Treatment (POST) became available in July 2013 through the work of a grassroots coalition. Assess use of the Indiana POST form to record nursing home (NH) residents’ treatment preferences and associated practices. Survey Indiana Staff responsible for advance care planning in 535 NHs Survey about use of the Indiana POST, related policies, and educational activities. NHs were contacted by phone or email. Non-responders were sent a brief postcard survey. Almost all (486/535 or 91%) Indiana NHs participated and a majority (79%) had experience with POST. Among NHs that complete POST with residents (65%), 46% reported that half or more residents had a POST form. POST was most often completed at the time of admission (68%). Only half (52%) of participants were aware of an existing facility policy regarding use of POST. A majority (80%) reported general staff education on POST. Among NHs not using POST (n = 172), reasons included unfamiliarity with the tool (23%) and a lack of facility policies (21%). Almost three years following a grassroots campaign to introduce the voluntary Indiana POST program, a majority of NHs were using POST to support resident care. Areas for improvement include creating policies on POST for all NHs, training staff on POST conversations, and considering processes that may enhance the POST conversation, such as finding an optimal time to engage in conversations about treatment preferences outside of a potential rushed admission process.
