Policy/Worker Guide

Update to the Attendant Care in a Hospital Setting Worker Guide 

Summary: During the public health emergency, Congress gave states permission to allow attendant care-like services in an acute care hospital. Oregon amended the K-plan to make the option available permanently. 

Draft Worker Guide: Attendant Care During an Inpatient Hospital Stay​

Our questions for you:

1. Is it clear that a person who meets certain eligibility criteria and who has an authorized ISP that identifies the need, can use attendant care services even when there is no public health emergency?

2. How does this guidance directly or indirectly impact priority populations including: Tribes; racial, ethnic, and culturally-based communities; women; individuals who identify as LGBTQIA2S+; people with disabilities; religious minorities; veterans; individuals with limited English proficiency; immigrants; or refugees?

3. What specific changes would you recommend to eliminate potential harm or disparities related to service equity?

4. Will this create new work for case management entities?

5. What is the impact on the workload for case management entities? 

Deadline: ODDS will be collecting feedback through July 3, 2023. Please send responses to this proposal to ODDS.Engagement@odhsoha.oregon.gov with "Attendant Care in a Hospital" as the subject line.
