Alaska Polst
About StickyJ Medical ID POLST Bracelets
Alaska requires that you have a copy of your POLST order with you at all times when you are out in the community. StickyJ Medical ID provides specialized identifier bracelets designed to help Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel in Alaska locate your POLST order quickly. The bracelets include instructions for EMS to check your purse or wallet for your medical order.
QR Code Option for Quick POLST Access
For a modest additional fee, StickyJ Medical ID offers an optional QR Code feature with your medical ID bracelet or pendant. If you select this option, you will send us a copy of your POLST order which we will securely digitize and upload to our protected online database. The QR Code, engraved on the back of your bracelet, allows paramedics and emergency responders to use a smartphone to scan and immediately view an image of your POLST medical order. This can be extremely useful when time is of the essence.
When adding the QR Code option, you must either scan-and-upload OR mail a copy of your POLST order to StickyJ Medical ID. Once received, we will securely store your document online, making it accessible to EMS personnel whenever necessary. (Note: if you are planning to scan and upload your POLST, we recommend using Adobe Scan. It's a free app available for both Apple and Android phones).
Features of the Alaska Bracelets
The Alaska POLST ID bracelets and pendants by StickyJ Medical ID offer peace of mind by ensuring EMS personnel are aware of the existence of your medical orders and know exactly where to locate them. The front of the metal bracelet features the internationally recognized emergency medical symbol and information about the location of your portable medical order. The back of the bracelet provides space for several lines of engraving, where you can include your name and an emergency contact phone number.
When ordering your bracelet, please select the Do Not Resuscitate POLST bracelet (CR5440DNAKC) or POLST pendant (CR5440PNAKC) if your physician order is a POLST with 'No CPR' checked, or select the EMS POLST bracelet (CR5440AKC) if your physician order is a POLST with 'No CPR' left unchecked (indicating you want to be resuscitated following a cardiac event). If you have any questions, please contact StickyJ Medical ID at 727-823-9500.
If you prefer to order your bracelet by mail, you can do so by clicking on the ALASKA MAIL ORDER FORM.
Important Legal Notice
Please be aware that the bracelet itself is not legally sufficient for EMS personnel to withhold resuscitation efforts. In the event of a cardiac emergency, you must have a copy of your physician order with you, and it must be accessible to emergency responders. Only a medical professional can issue a portable medical order. For more information about your choices and legal requirements, consult with your physician.
