Health-Related Social Needs Provider Training

If you need any help or accommodations to participate, please email us at HRSN.Program@oha.oregon.gov.

2026 HRSN provider office hours

Enrolled HRSN service providers are invited to monthly office hours. During these sessions, HRSN providers can ask Oregon Health Authority subject matter experts questions about providing HRSN services.

OHA will hold 2026 office hours on the second Wednesday of each month, unless conflicting with a holiday. All sessions will be 8:30‒10 a.m.

Slides and recordings from past office hours are available on our HRSN past trainings webpage.

Community information exchange support for HRSN providers

OHA has contracted with HIT Commons to provide support and training for HRSN service providers using Connect Oregon/Unite Us community information exchange (CIE). This support is available from 2026–2027 and is for current HRSN service providers and organizations interested in becoming providers.

HIT Commons is working with CCOs to ensure this work complements their efforts. Support for HRSN providers can include direct training and technical assistance, regional workshops, data use support, and more.

Upcoming 2026 training:

Sign up and view trainings as they become available on the HIT Commons training webpage.

If there is interest, OHA will coordinate to develop support for HRSN providers using Findhelp.
