South Carolina's portable medical order, under the POST Act in Title 44 Chapter 80, records CPR, medical intervention, antibiotic and artificial nutrition and fluid decisions. It is limited to patients diagnosed with a serious illness or expected to lose capacity within 12 months. Clinicians complete it with the patient or legal representative, and it is valid across health care settings once signed by both.
A physician, APRN or PA completes Sections A to D and signs Section E, attesting that the patient has a serious illness or may be expected to lose capacity within 12 months and that the orders fit. The patient or legal representative signs Section F, and any facilitator signs Section G.

The POST Act defines it as a person with priority to make health care decisions for the patient under the South Carolina Adult Health Care Consent Act, Section 44-66-10 and following. That representative can sign Section F and can revoke the form on the patient's behalf.
