Overview

Mission

To study problems in the healthcare provider area and in other related healthcare activities.

It intends to provide educational programs to individuals and institutional representatives in the areas of healthcare, administration, finance and service. Facilitate the development of a regional patient safety & quality program for the benefit of Oregon hospitals and the communities they serve. In addition, it plans to develop qualified financial resources to carry out programs and studies to assist the association, its members, the public and relationships to healthcare.

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
