AI Summary

This bill directs the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to conduct a comprehensive study on telemedicine issues, with the aim of improving understanding and potentially developing future policy recommendations. Specifically, the OHA is required to examine various aspects of telemedicine and prepare a report to be submitted to the interim legislative committees focused on healthcare by September 15, 2026. The legislation includes a built-in sunset provision, meaning the study mandate will automatically be repealed on January 2, 2027, which ensures the research is time-limited. Telemedicine, in this context, generally refers to the practice of providing medical care and health-related services remotely using telecommunications technology, such as video consultations, remote monitoring, and digital health platforms. The bill appears to be a fact-finding measure designed to help legislators better understand the current state and potential improvements in telemedicine services in Oregon.
