May 5, 2025: Oregon State Hospital 30-day Stabilization Plan

Friday, April 11, Governor Kotek made Dave Baden acting superintendent of Oregon State Hospital and directed the agency to make a 30-day plan to address issues related to patient care and safety, effective immediately. The OSH 30-day Stabilization Plan focuses on immediate changes to improve patient care and safety, and it will grow and adjust in continued pursuit of improvement. 

The plan is built on many actions already underway at OSH in response to findings by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and The Joint Commission (TJC) related to patient safety. The objectives of the plan are to put strategies in place that will decrease likelihood of sentinel events and also provide staff with clearer direction and empowerment to keep patients safe.
