RULE Summary:

Since initial rules were developed in 2014, OHA has been continuing work with stakeholders on the implementation of the Oregon Common Credentialing Program. To ensure programmatic requirements and to comply with statutory provisions, OHA is proposing the following changes to the credentialing rules that:
1.    Add an official operational date for the program;
2.    Adjust definitions to include additional practitioner types and designees;
3.    Adjust requirements to allow practitioners to request a waiver from electronic submission in extreme cases;
4.    Add health system requirements to ensure those organizations and their expectations are defined;
5.    Make grammatical and clarifying language changes where necessary;
6.    Add fee structure requirements and amounts; and
7.    Define directory related information based on legislative intent.

DISCLAIMER: The Program's operational date, the date in which program participation is mandatory, in rule and the specific treatment of health systems - including the health system definition - are tentative and will be finalized prior to Final Rule. OHA is working with vendors on the OCCP project schedule, and key stakeholders on the health system component to finalize these areas of the rule.
Please contact Zarie Haverkate at zarie.haverkate at state.or.us<mailto:Zarie.haverkate at state.or.us?subject=Proposed%20Rulemaking> if you have any questions.

You are receiving this notice because you are either a licensee, applicant/resident, or an interested person who has requested to be on the Board's mailing list.  This listserv does not allow replies.

Thank you,
OBPE Staff
