Potential enforcement actions

If ODDS finds a licensing violation or substantiates an abuse investigation, we may:

  • Place conditions on, suspend or revoke your certification or licensure.
  • Issue an advisory letter or civil penalty in the amount outlined in Oregon Revised Statute (ORS). We issue civil penalties based on the type of infraction or type of abuse.

Plan of Correction

ODDS conducts regular reviews of providers. If we identify deficiencies during a review, we will let you know in our licensing report.

Inspection review types

You (the provider) must create a Plan of Correction (POC).

  • This plan must show how you will correct each deficiency.
  • We may ask for supporting documentation for your POC. We will note this under Tag 9999 on the onsite report.
  • We will give you a timeline to complete the POC based on the outcome of your review.
    • You typically have 30 days to submit a POC after you receive our licensing report.
    • If the licensing issues are severe, your POC deadline could be sooner.
    • We will define this timeline in your report's licensing letter.

An acceptable plan must include:

  • Actions to correct each violation
  • Actions to prevent the occurrence for other individuals
  • People responsible to ensure actions are completed
  • Dates you will complete these actions
  • Plans to monitor POC issues and prevent reoccurrence
  • Supporting documents requested in Tag 9999 on the onsite report

We will not accept plans that don't address all of these points or lack requested documents. We will return these plans to you for completion.
