The Colorado Advance Directives Consortium is an informal organization of professionals in health care, senior services, law, and ethics dedicated to improving the tools and processes for health care decision making in Colorado.
Since 2006, the CADC has played key roles in revising the Colorado CPR directive regulations and the Living Will statute, and launching the Medical Orders for Scope of Treatment program.
The CADC meets on a bimonthly basis, usually by teleconference. To connect with the group, please visit our "Contact" page
Medical Orders for Scope of Treatment (MOST)
IMPORTANT: The legislation to implement the Medical Orders for Scope of Treatment program in Colorado is now in effect. (See MOST in Colorado page)
The Consortium is currently working with other stakeholder organizations to offer education on the program to EMTs, long-term care facilities, hospitals, and hospice. Widespread education and "buy-in" is needed to fully implement the program. (See News and Educational Events page)
Until our education initiative is completed, the MOST form may not be immediately recognized by all healthcare providers in the state.
You can help us educate your colleagues, providers, and provider partners by directing them to this site and to the educational programs.
For questions or to participate in the statewide roll-out, please contact Colorado Advance Directives Consortium, via the co-chairs, Dr. David Koets
