A short introduction you can use.
This project explores a Systemically Important Rural Hospital designation for Oregon: a way to recognize essential regional functions and connect them to workable financing and payment arrangements.
The proposal pairs the designation with evidence about services, costs and current payments, then tests what additional resources a hospital could actually retain. The site explains the options, their legal conditions and draft questions for the legislative fiscal, revenue and legal offices.
It is a circulation draft for discussion, with sources and open questions available throughout.
Bring a concise version.
The policy brief introduces the approach. The separate office requests preserve the proposed work for LFO, LRO and Legislative Counsel.
These are policy materials and draft requests. A downloaded or forwarded copy does not establish endorsement, an instruction to an office, or a funding commitment.
