What: A public meeting of the rules advisory committee on dental pilot projects
When: August 20, 9 a.m. to noon. A public comment period will be held at the end of the meeting.
Where: Portland State Office Building, Room 1A, 800 NE Oregon St., Portland. Conference line: 888-273-3658, participant code: 76-64-09
Agenda: Review draft amended rules; next steps
Background: Senate Bill 738, passed by the Oregon Legislature in 2011, allows the Oregon Health Authority to approve dental pilot projects once an application has been approved. These projects are intended to evaluate the quality of care, access, cost, workforce, and efficacy by teaching new skills to existing categories of dental personnel; developing new categories of dental personnel; accelerating the training of existing categories of dental personnel; or teaching new oral health care roles to previously untrained persons.
The purpose of the rules advisory committee is to provide feedback and input on the development of amended rule language, as well as review the statement of need and fiscal impact for the proposed rules.
Materials: Copies of materials are available on the Dental Pilot Projects webpage.
