Introduction
The Oregon Health Consensus is a community, a process, and a document.
We are a community of Oregonians committed to improving health for all Oregonians. We aim to include as many Oregonians from as many diverse groups as possible.
We are committed to improving health through a unique consensus-based process that includes several steps (described below).
Using the consensus process, we are creating a document called "The Oregon Health Consensus" that describes what we -- all Oregonians -- want for our health.
The Process
The Oregon Health Consensus is developing via the following stages:
- Stage 1 - 100% of 8+ Oregonians agree on Vision. This stage is complete.
- Stage 2 - 90% of 40+ Oregonians agree on Vision and Representation. This stage is in progress. Join us!
- Stage 3 - 90% of 200+ Oregonians agree on Vision, Representation, and Values
- Stage 4 - 90% of 1,000+ Oregonians agree on Vision, Representation, Values, Background Information
- Stage 5 - 90% of 5,000+ Oregonians agree on Vision, Representation, Values, Background Information, Potential Next Steps (including Legislation, Policy, Programs, etc.)
- Stage 6 - 90% of 25,000+ Oregonians agree on Vision, Representation, Values, Background Information, Potential Next Steps, and Actual Next Steps (including Legislation, Policy, Programs, etc.)
PLEASE NOTE: Work will begin immediately on sections that will not come up for agreement until later stages.
