Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 847 - OREGON MEDICAL BOARD › Division 65 - HEALTH PROFESSIONALS' SERVICES PROGRAM › Section 847-065-0005 - Licensees with Mental Health Disorder Treated in Hospital Exceeding 25 Consecutive Days

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
A licensee's participation in the Health Professionals'
				Services Program (HPSP), to include inpatient evaluations or treatment in a
				treatment facility that exceeds 25 consecutive days, does not require an
				automatic suspension of a licensee, if the licensee is in compliance with their
				HPSP agreement and does not practice medicine, podiatry, or acupuncture during
				a period of impairment. If the HPSP makes a determination that the licensee has
				a mental health disorder that affects the ability of the licensee to safely
				practice, the HPSP will ask the licensee to immediately withdraw from practice.
				If the licensee declines, the HPSP will immediately report to the Board that
				the licensee has a mental health disorder that affects the ability of the
				licensee to safely practice, and with this report provide a copy of the
				evaluation upon which this determination is based.

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
The Oregon Medical Board recognizes that substance use
				disorders and/or mental health disorders are potentially progressive, chronic
				diseases. The Board believes that physicians, podiatric physicians, physician
				assistants, and acupuncturists who develop these diseases can, with appropriate
				treatment, be assisted with recovery and return to the practice of medicine,
				podiatry, or acupuncture. It is the intent of the Board that a licensee with a
				substance use disorder and/or mental health disorder may have the opportunity
				to enter the Health Professionals' Services Program (HPSP). Participation in
				the HPSP does not shield a licensee from possible disciplinary action.
