OPSC Funding, Budget & Fees
How OPSC is Funded
The Oregon Patient Safety Commission (OPSC) is funded through both state funding and annual fees from licensed healthcare facilities. Our funding model ensures the cost of patient safety activities is shared across Oregon’s healthcare system.
Representatives from eligible healthcare facilities we serve helped us establish the fee structure, which is described in OPSC’s administrative rules. The fees are annually adjusted by the OPSC Board, at a rate equal to the annual average Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, West Region (All Items).
PSRP Annual Fees for Healthcare Facilities
The annual fee supports the operating costs for Oregon’s Patient Safety Reporting Program (PSRP). Although participation in PSRP is voluntary, payment of the annual fee is mandatory (ORS 442.850) to ensure that the cost of patient safety activities is shared among Oregon healthcare facilities. Learn more about the annual PSRP participation fee in OPSC’s administrative rules.
We accept electronic payments through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) process. ACH payment information is included in your annual fee invoice. Please note that your invoice number is required for payment.
For questions about the annual fee, or the program, please contact us.
The annual fee is due by December 31.
