DPH outlines MOLST 2.0 digital rollout, EMS training and certification plans
Summary
Department of Public Health staff described MOLST 2.0 as a digital‑first modernization, said the old lime‑green form is no longer required, explained new training pathways (CT‑TRAIN and health system integration), and noted a statutory revision (section 19a‑580h) allows external training that meets state requirements.
Barbara (Department of Public Health) briefed the council on MOLST 2.0, describing the modernization as digital‑first with a redesigned website, FAQs, EMS‑specific training, and an attestation added to the form requiring eligible providers to confirm completion of required training.
"The lime green form is no longer ... it's no longer required moving forward," Barbara said, adding that executed older forms remain valid in individual records. She said CT‑TRAIN will host training and that larger health systems may import or mirror CT‑TRAIN content into their learning management systems; DPH plans outreach to facility licensing and EMS advisory groups and recommended keeping certificates in personnel files as verification. Barbara cited a statutory revision (section 19a‑580h) that permits external entities to develop training that meets state requirements.
