The Health Care Licensure and Certification (HCLC) section of the Department of Human Services is the agency responsible for the licensure of hospitals in the State of Oregon. HCLC was charged with drafting the Oregon Administrative Rules (OARs) for Hospitals that were required to implement the statutes.
As part of the rule-making process, HCLC convened a work group with broad representation of all interested parties to draft rule language. The work group met a number of times and rules were drafted. Two public hearings were held on the proposed rule language, and the rules were filed on December 10, 2002.
The rule-making process resulted in the adoption of two new sections and significant revisions to the OARs for Hospitals for nurse staffing. The rules can be found in the OARs for Hospitals at the following sites:
- 333-500-0057 Civil Penalties and Table 1-Civil Penalty Assessments;
To review Oregon Administrative Rules Chapter 333
Federal regulations can be reviewed at the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration's web site where the Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs) can be found.
In particular, see Title 42 - Public Health - Chapter IV - Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services
