Or. Admin. Code § 818-013-0010 - Procedures for Board Referrals

(1) When the Board receives information involving a licensee who may have a substance related disorder, mental disorder, or both types of disorders, the Board staff will investigate and complete a non-identifying confidential report to be presented at a Board meeting.

(2) The Board will consider all relevant factors before determining whether to refer a licensee to the HPSP, including but not limited to licensee's disciplinary history; the severity and duration of the licensee's impairment; the extent to which licensee's practice can be limited or managed to eliminate danger to the public; and the likelihood that licensee's impairment can be managed with treatment.

(3) If a licensee meets referral criteria and the Board approves entry into the HPSP, the Board will provide a written referral to HPSP.
