2970 - Physician and Nurse Practitioner Review of the Order Not to Resuscitate.

§  2970.  Physician  and nurse practitioner review of the order not to
  resuscitate. 1. For each patient for whom an order  not  to  resuscitate
  has been issued, the attending physician or attending nurse practitioner
  shall  review  the  patient's  chart  to determine if the order is still
  appropriate in light of the patient's condition and  shall  indicate  on
  the  patient's  chart  that  the  order  has been reviewed each time the
  patient is required to be seen by a physician but at least  every  sixty
  days.
Failure  to comply with this subdivision shall not render an order not
  to resuscitate ineffective.
2. (a) If the attending  physician  or  attending  nurse  practitioner
  determines  at  any  time  that an order not to resuscitate is no longer
  appropriate because the patient's medical condition  has  improved,  the
  physician  or nurse practitioner shall immediately notify the person who
  consented to the order. Except as provided  in  paragraph  (b)  of  this
  subdivision, if such person declines to revoke consent to the order, the
  physician  or  nurse  practitioner  shall  promptly  (i) make reasonable
  efforts to arrange for the transfer of the patient to another  physician
  or (ii) submit the matter to the dispute mediation system.
(b)  If the order not to resuscitate was entered upon the consent of a
  surrogate, parent, or legal guardian  and  the  attending  physician  or
  attending  nurse  practitioner who issued the order, or, if unavailable,
  another attending physician or attending nurse practitioner at any  time
  determines  that  the  patient  does  not suffer from one of the medical
  conditions set forth in paragraph (c) of subdivision  three  of  section
  twenty-nine  hundred sixty-five of this article, the attending physician
  or  attending  nurse  practitioner  shall   immediately   include   such
  determination  in  the patient's chart, cancel the order, and notify the
  person who consented to the order and all hospital staff responsible for
  the patient's care of the cancellation.
(c) If an order not to resuscitate was entered upon the consent  of  a
  surrogate  and  the  patient  at any time gains or regains capacity, the
  attending physician or  attending  nurse  practitioner  who  issued  the
  order,  or,  if  unavailable,  another  attending physician or attending
  nurse practitioner shall immediately cancel the  order  and  notify  the
  person  who  consented  to  the  order  and  all hospital staff directly
  responsible for the patient's care of the cancellation.
