Where can I find advanced healthcare directive worksheets?

Arthur Shorr (Former COO and SVP of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center) gives expert video advice on: What are 'advanced healthcare directives'?; What information should my advanced healthcare directive contain? and more...

Federal law requires that all hospitals make a worksheet available for you to fill out an advanced healthcare directive. Before you are admitted, you can obtain that in the admitting office of a hospital, you could obtain that from a patient representative, and surely you can obtain that from the department of social services at the hospital. Once you are admitted, you can ask the nurse to give you that information about advanced healthcare directives. You can also find that information through the American Bar Association. You can find it through an organization known as NOAH - New York Online Access to Healthcare - which provides information about advanced health care directives, and this information is organized by state, and includes some state-specific forms.
