The Healthcare Acquired Infection Advisory Committee is a statutorily mandated committee to advise Oregon Health Policy and Research (OHPR) on the development of a health care acquired infections reporting program in Oregon. The program which started January 1, 2009 requires health care facilities to report health care acquired infection measures for subsequent public reporting. The advisory committee will advise OHPR on what specific health care acquired infection measures that health care facilities must report and prescribe the form, manner and frequency of reports of health care acquired infection measures by health care facilities.
