Medical Orders for Scope of Treatment (MOST)

MOST stands for:  Medical Orders for Scope of Treatment.

In an emergency or urgent situation, if you are unable to express your wishes, a MOST will help ensure your health care treatment aligns with your wishes. Completed by the Most Responsible Practitioner (MRP), A MOST is based on Advance Care Planning and conversations with a capable adult about their goals of care – or if the adult is incapable, their Substitute Decision Maker (SDM).
