OR HB3211

Oregon Health Authority must develop a nonopioid directive form allowing individuals to refuse opioid administration or prescriptions from health care providers and emergency medical services providers

The form must include a warning that execution may result in unrelieved or breakthrough pain, instructions for revocation, and must be made available electronically on the authority's website

Individuals, their health care representatives, or health care advocates may execute or revoke the directive; providers must include executed forms in medical records

Exceptions allow opioid administration despite the directive for emergency medical treatment (with substance use disorder information provided), intraoperative use, skilled nursing facility treatment, substance use disorder treatment, and hospice patients

Health care providers, facilities, and EMS providers acting in good faith are protected from civil, criminal, and professional liability for failing to administer opioids or inadvertent administration to individuals with the directive
