We have an item to work on for placing an order for Modified Code Status. This will allow the provider to select which life saving measures the patient does or does not want used on them. The life-saving measures are Chest Compressions, Defibrillation, Intubation and ACLS medications and the provider will be able to choose more than one of these measures during Order Entry. With this change, we are also adding a new Code Status of DNR-Comfort Care.

Need a modified code as well to include other options not listed. Such as compressions only or defib only.
This would make it much simpler to clarify extent of resuscitation wishes
