About This Meeting

Rules Advisory Committees, and other forms of engagement with people and communities, provide OPSC the opportunity to get input from affected communities throughout the rulemaking process. This Committee will meet once in March, and the public is invited to listen to the meeting.

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.
