OAR 411-390-0100
Statement of Purpose

(1)

The rules in OAR chapter 411, division 390 prescribe standards by which a health care advocate may be appointed for an adult with an intellectual or developmental disability.

(2)

The Department recognizes the individual rights described in OAR 411-318-0010 (Individual Rights) and supports the rights of adult individuals to make informed choices including refusal of, and consent to, health care. The intent of these rules is to maximize access to health care by prescribing standards for the appointment of a health care advocate when an adult individual is incapable of making a health care decision.
(3) These rules encourage and provide for the appointment of a health care advocate in situations not covered by ORS 127.505 (Definitions for ORS 127.505 to 127.660) through 127.660 (Short title) and when there is no legally appointed guardian with authority over health care decisions. ORS 127.635 (Withdrawal of life-sustaining procedures) provides for appointment of a health care representative to decide whether life-sustaining procedures may be withheld or withdrawn for an incapable individual.
