MI-POST is Michigan's optional portable medical order for adults with advanced illness or frailty for whom, given their current condition, death would occur within one year. On a one-page, two-sided form, the attending professional and the patient or representative record CPR status, a treatment level (comfort-focused, selective or full) and any additional orders such as dialysis or artificial nutrition. It directs EMS care when the patient cannot speak for themselves.
A physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant completes the orders in Part 2 and signs Section D after a goals-of-care discussion; forms signed by an NP or PA list the collaborating physician. The patient, patient advocate or court-appointed guardian signs Section E.
