The Attorney General, in consultation with the Maryland Institute for
Emergency Medical Services Systems, the Secretary of the Department of Health and
Mental Hygiene, the State Board of Physician Quality Assurance, and other
interested persons, shall study:
(1) whether the emergency medical services "do not resuscitate order"
form issued by the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems
should be simplified to facilitate its use;
(2) the circumstances, if any, under which an emergency medical services
"do not resuscitate order" should guide the actions of individuals who are not health
care providers but who are authorized to operate an automated external defibrillator;
(3) whether a program should be established for distribution of, and
education concerning, an order form that would apply not only to resuscitation and
alternatives to resuscitation by emergency medical services personnel but also to life
sustaining procedures more generally, in a manner comparable to a form used in
Oregon known as the Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST); and
(4) if a program described in paragraph (3) of this section were
established, the most appropriate organization to operate it, its resource needs, and
the means by which its effectiveness might be evaluated.
SECTION 3. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That the Attorney General
shall report the findings of the study required by Section 2 of this Act to the Senate
Judicial Proceedings Committee and the House Environmental Matters Committee of
the General Assembly on or before December 31, 2001, in accordance with § 2-1246 of
the State Government Article.
SECTION 4. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall take effect
October 1, 2000.
