(2) The Director of the Oregon Health Authority shall provide a forum for individuals representing all of the vertically integrated, nonprofit health care systems in this state to participate in meaningful and open discussions and engage in a good faith collaboration to create the experimental, prototype health care of tomorrow.

(3) The collaboration must be guided by the following principles:

(a) Health care must be readily accessible throughout every community in this state;

(b) High quality health care must be provided at a cost much lower than the cost of health care today;

(c) The experimental, prototype health care of tomorrow must incorporate innovations that are gathered from the best minds around the world and can be rapidly implemented throughout the delivery system;

(d) The experimental, prototype health care of tomorrow must continuously implement sufficient improvements in health care to completely offset any increases in cost over extended periods of time; and

(e) The nonprofit health care systems participating in the experimental, prototype health care of tomorrow may not be competitors, but must work together in an integrated fashion to maximize their shared social missions.

(4) The director or the director’s designee shall engage in state supervision of the collaboration to ensure that the discussions and activities of the participants in the collaboration are limited to the activities described in this section. [2019 c.194 §1]
