About StickyJ Medical ID DNR and MOLST Bracelets
Rhode Island requires that you have a copy of your DO Not Resuscitate or MOLST 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 Rhode Island locate your Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) or MOLST order quickly. The bracelets include instructions for EMS to check your purse or wallet for your medical order.
QR Code Option for Quick DNR or MOLST Access
For a modest additional fee, StickyJ Medical ID offers an optional QR Code feature with your medical ID bracelet. If you select this option, you can send us a copy of your DNR or MOLST 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 DNR or MOLST order. This can be extremely useful when time is of the essence.
To add the QR Code option, you must either scan-and-upload OR mail a copy of your Do Not Resuscitate or MOLST 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 DNR, we recommend using Adobe Scan. It's a free app available for both Apple and Android phones).

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 actual Do Not Resuscitate 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.
