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:

• 333-500-0056 Annual Random Audits;

• 333-500-0057 Civil Penalties and Table 1-Civil Penalty Assessments;

• 333-505-0005(5) Governing Body Responsibility; and

• 333-510-0045 Nursing Services Staffing
