The Delaware Medical Orders for Scope of Treatment DMOST was enacted in 2016 under HB 64 (148th). The DMOST form allows Delawareans to plan ahead for health-care decisions, express their wishes in writing, and both enable and obligate health care professionals to act in accordance with a patients expressed preferences. A DMOST form is different than an Advance Health-Care Directive because a DMOST form contains portable medical orders that respect the patients goals for care in regard to the use of CPR and other medical interventions.

An Act To Amend Title 16 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Delaware Medical Orders For Scope Of Treatment Act.
