LaPOST Electronic Registry:
The Quality Forum’s partnership with Vynca will allow health care providers across multiple care delivery continuums in Louisiana to electronically complete, store, and access patients’ end-of life wishes. This collaboration will help enhance the state’s current advance care planning program, which includes the Louisiana Physician Orders for Scope of Treatment (LaPOST) form. LaPOST forms are physician orders outlining the medical treatment that patients with serious, life-limiting illnesses wish to receive at the end of life.

For more information about obtaining access and setting up your organization for access to the LaPOST Registry please contact:
