(1) If, during an investigation or survey Oregon Health Authority (Authority) staff document violations of health care facility licensing laws or conditions of participation, the Authority may issue a statement of deficiencies that cites the law alleged to have been violated and the facts supporting the allegation.

(2) A signed plan of correction must be received by the Authority within 10 business days from the date the statement of deficiencies was mailed to the hospital. A signed plan of correction will not be used by the Authority as an admission of the violations alleged in the statement of deficiencies.

(3) A hospital shall correct all deficiencies within 60 days from the date of the exit conference, unless an extension of time is requested from the Authority. A request for such an extension shall be submitted in writing and must accompany the plan of correction.

(4) The Authority shall determine if a written plan of correction is acceptable. If the plan of correction is not acceptable to the Authority, the Authority shall notify the hospital administrator in writing and request that the plan of correction be modified and resubmitted no later than 10 working days from the date the letter of non-acceptance was mailed to the administrator.

(5) If the hospital does not come into compliance by the date of correction reflected on the plan of correction or 60 days from date of the exit conference, whichever is sooner, the Authority may propose to deny, suspend, or revoke the hospital license, or impose civil penalties.
