The Legislative Assembly finds and declares that it is a policy of this state that: (1) All persons regardless of any disability have the right to live their lives with dignity and to participate in society and all state programs to the fullest extent possible. (2) There is a need for education of state employees and the public generally about the capacity of persons with disabilities to participate and compete in the mainstream of society. (3) Stereotypes and negative labels have no place in state laws and words such as "victim," "afflicted," "crippled" and "handicapped" that have connotations of unclean, unworthy, unproductive and begging are judgmental. Wherever possible, words such as these shall be avoided. (4) The language of state laws shall reflect a positive outlook about persons with disabilities. The worth and uniqueness of each individual citizen is to be emphasized by using words and phrases that emphasize the person first and then identify any disability when relevant.

2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 11 - Juvenile Code, Human Services|Chapter 410 - Senior and Disability Services|Section 410.851 - Policy on patient-based reimbursement system for long term care facilities; rules.

(1) The Legislative Assembly finds and declares that patients admitted to and cared for by long term care facilities in Oregon are more impaired than in the past. In keeping with the traditional commitment of the State of Oregon to the care and protection of its citizens who are frail or elderly or who have disabilities, as expressed in ORS 410.010, the Legislative Assembly declares that a patient-based reimbursement system emphasizing quality incentives is appropriate for long term care facilities. Such a system would reward long term care facilities for outcomes, such as maintaining or improving a patient’s condition, and meet the legitimate costs of caring for patients. (2) As used in this section, "patient-based reimbursement" means reimbursement for direct patient care according to the needs of the patient, based on multiple levels of patient health, functioning and impairment. (3) A patient-based reimbursement system does not require the Department of Human Services to assess each patient and reimburse long term care facilities according to the constantly changing conditions of the patients except for changes between skilled and intermediate levels of care which shall result in prompt readjustment of rates. (4) The department shall establish by rule definitions of levels of care and the payment rates for the patient-based reimbursement system. The rates shall be designed to maintain and enhance access to community-based care services. (5) Notwithstanding ORS 410.555, the department, in cooperation with representatives of community-based care providers, shall implement policies that offer incentives to providers for entering into Medicaid contracts with the department and that enable a patient, to the greatest extent possible, to remain in the residential setting offering the scope of services that best meets the patient’s needs.
