Background: In 2019, Oregon passed HB 2257, which required OHA to convene an advisory group to make recommendations for the potential accreditation of substance use disorder (SUD) treatment providers. If implemented, the accreditation requirements will impact every SUD services provider in Oregon and potentially require providers to make significant changes to their practices. The advisory group’s recommendations will also impact the compliance and quality assurance practices of CCO’s and OHA, and may require providers to change their internal quality assurance processes.
