When to Use the Saskatchewan Medical Order for Scope of Treatment (SMOST)
The SMOST is an order set intended to reflect the decisions made via the shared decision making process regarding resuscitation, acceptable levels of intervention/care and acceptable locations of care.
- A SMOST should be filled out for all patients where there is a chance they could require resuscitation.
- A SMOST can only be filled out after a conversation with the patient/Substitute Decision Maker (SDM)
