Health Care Workforce Committee
The Health Care Workforce Committee is chartered to coordinate efforts in Oregon to recruit and educate health care professionals and retain a quality workforce to meet the demand created by the expansion in health care coverage, system transformation and an increasingly diverse population.  The Health Care Workforce Committee will focus its work on identifying resources, needs, and supply gaps, and ensuring a culturally competent workforce that is reflective of Oregon’s increasing diversity.  The Committee will advise and develop recommendations and action plans to the Oregon Health Policy Board for implementing the necessary changes to train, recruit and retain a dynamic health care work force that is scaled to meet the needs of new systems of care.   
   
The Health Care Workforce Committee will receive senior-level staff support from the Oregon Healthcare Workforce Institute, as well as from the Office for Health Policy and Research. 
 
Duties:
  • Coordinate efforts to recruit, educate, retain quality workforce

Non-Traditional Health Worker Subcommittee

  

Non-Traditional Health Workers (NTHW) Subcommittee 
 
In September 2011, a Subcommittee was established to advise the Workforce Committee and the Health Policy Board on standards for Community Health Workers, Personal Health Navigators, and Peer Wellness Specialists that may offer services within or in conjunction with Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs), as required by HB 3650.  The Subcommittee developed functional descriptions and recommended educational and training requirements that are broad enough to encompass the potential unique needs of any CCO and meet the requirements of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to qualify for Medical reimbursement.  The Subcommittee issued recommendations in January 2012 and was subsequently dissolved.  An NTHW Steering Committee was created in November 2012 to implement recommendations. [Office of Equity and Inclusion - Non-Traditional Health Care Worker Steering Committee]
