Don't Let Management Write Your Staffing Plan Without You!
Oregon's hospital staffing law (HB 2697) always covered ambulatory clinics operating under a hospital license, but until the Oregon Health Authority assessed a ruling (and fines), OHSU refused to create ambulatory staffing plans. OHA’s ruling makes it crystal clear that OHSU is required to develop staffing plans for these settings, and we need YOUR help to create them!
We need ambulatory clinic members who are passionate about safe staffing and patient care, who want to hold OHSU accountable to the spirit of House Bill 2697, and are ready to bring coworkers' concerns to the committee. This is a true opportunity to make a lasting impact for the better for so many of our members!
