Mary Washington Healthcare is proud to host virtual EMS Night Out seminars with Virginia CE provided.

New DNAR – Do Not Attempt Resuscitation at MWHC

Presented by Crystal Gaskins, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BC, NPD-BC
Clinical Nurse Specialist, Mary Washington Healthcare

Thursday

August 18, 2022

6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.

Mary Washington Healthcare is updating the former DNR policy and terminology to reflect a more clinically relevant approach to advance directives including a more specific explanation of resuscitative terms. Join us to learn more about our new DNAR policy, ethics of DNR, palliative care versus hospice, emergency calls at end of life, and EMS guidance on state approved “Other Do Not Resuscitate Orders” such as our DNAR. Case studies will be presented. Participants must register to receive the lecture Zoom link.
