Comfort Care - Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Order Verification Program

The Comfort Care/Do Not Resuscitate (CC/DNR) form is the only means for ambulance services, EMTS and paramedics to verify that a patient has a valid DNR. If EMTs are not shown a properly executed CC/DNR form for the patient, EMTs are required to resuscitate per their Protocols. If they are shown a properly executed CC/DNR form for the patient, EMTs will provide only palliative care to the patient during transport.
