Frequently Asked Questions about Complaints
What happens after I submit a complaint?
The information provided below will be carefully reviewed against the applicable Oregon Administrative Rules and/or Code of Federal Regulations for the specific facility or entity type the complaint is about.
This review will determine if there are potential violations of those requirements and if this is the office with jurisdiction to take further action. You will be notified in writing of the results of the review. The letter will inform you what action this office has authority to take, which may include an unannounced, onsite investigation. If it is determined that the concerns fall under the jurisdiction of another agency or organization the letter will provide you with that information
Is my personal and complaint information kept confidential?
Your identity as the complainant is maintained confidentially to the extent permitted by law. The complaint systems are designed to protect anonymity and in most circumstances this office is prohibited from releasing complainant information.
Requesting Records
Health Care Regulation and Quality Improvement (HCRQI) maintains a public record for each licensed, certified, or registered acute health care facility or agency.
To request records
- Go to the
OHA Public Record Request webpage.
- You may complete and submit the
request online.
Special Note: If you are requesting a copy of a report following a survey or complaint investigation, the records may be delayed. These reports are called Statements of Deficiencies and the facility or agency must file a Plan of Correction describing how any deficiencies will be remedied. A Plan of Correction must be approved by the agency before the Statement of Deficiencies may be released.
If you have questions about public records requests, contact
