About Us
What is HCAIAC?
The Health Care Acquired Infection Advisory Committee is a statutorily mandated committee to advise Oregon Health Policy and Research (OHPR) on the development of a health care acquired infections reporting program in Oregon.  The program will require health care facilities to report health care acquired infection measures starting on January 1, 2009 for subsequent public reporting.  The advisory committee will advise OHPR on what specific health care acquired infection measures that health care facilities must report and prescribe the form, manner and frequency of reports of health care acquired infection measures by health care facilities.  For more information, please contact Sean Kolmer at (503) 373-1824 or Shawna Kennedy-Walters at (503) 373-1598.
