Public Hearing for OAR Chapter 325: Patient Safety Reporting Program (PSRP) Participation Agreement Update
About the Hearing
On March 26, 2025, the Oregon Patient Safety Commission (OPSC) filed a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking with the Secretary of State’s office. Access a PDF copy of this notice, which includes the proposed changes.
Caption: Expanding opportunities for healthcare facility participation in patient safety activities.
Statement of Need: OPSC's current participation agreement for the PSRP program creates a barrier to entry for eligible facilities and makes it difficult for OPSC to introduce new PSRP program offerings.

Background
In the 2023 Legislative session, SB229 passed and was signed into law by Governor Kotek. These changes created more flexibility within the Patient Safety Reporting Program (PSRP) to make use of modern patient safety practices. OPSC’s current administrative rules have not fully integrated these changes in law, in particular as it relates to OPSC’s PSRP Participation Agreement. OPSC’s current administrative rules create a barrier to participation in short-term initiatives for eligible healthcare facilities. OPSC is seeking to revise our administrative rules, with feedback from a Rules Advisory Committee, to more fully achieve the intent of SB229.
Our Commitment to Equity
The mission of OPSC is to improve the safety of Oregon’s healthcare system for every Oregonian, making equity integral to everything we do. Therefore, we are committed to developing rules that foster diversity, equity, and inclusion.
