Oregon Health Policy Board
The Oregon Health Policy Board replaces two other health related boards. The new board will oversee the Oregon Health Authority, a new state agency created by the division of the Department of Human Services. Over the next two years, all of the current state health care functions will be consolidated under the Oregon Health Authority.
The Oregon Health Authority, and its board, will be responsible for overseeing and coordinating all state health care services and implementing the health care reform provisions of House Bill 2009. This includes shifting the approach to health care toward an emphasis on early prevention, primary care, cost-containment, and evidenced-based outcomes.
