Agenda: Review background information; brief overview of the rulemaking process; review draft amended rules; next steps.
When: June 25, 9 am-11am. A public comment period will be held at the end of the meeting.
Where: Portland State Office Building, 800 NE Oregon St., Room 1A, Portland. Conference line: 1-888-273-3658, participants code: 76-64-09
Background: Senate Bill 738, passed by the Oregon State 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.
Materials: Copies of materials are available online at healthoregon.org/dpp
