Or. Admin. R. 333-675-0240 – Waivers

(1) While a licensed health care facility is required to maintain continuous compliance with the built environment rules regulated by the Oregon Health Authority (Authority), these requirements do not prohibit the use of alternative concepts, methods, procedures, techniques, equipment, facilities, or the conducting of pilot projects or research. A request for a waiver from these rules must be submitted to the Authority on a form prescribed by the Authority.
(2) Upon finding that the facility has satisfied the conditions of this rule, the Authority may grant a waiver.
(3) A facility may not implement a waiver or exception request until it has received written approval from the Authority.
(4) During an emergency, the Authority may waive a rule that a facility is unable to meet, for reasons beyond the facility’s control. If the Authority waives a requirement under these rules, it shall issue an order, in writing, specifying which rules are waived, which facilities are subject to the order, and how long the order shall remain in effect.
