                   Senate Joint Resolution 20
 
Sponsored by Senators MONNES ANDERSON, NELSON (at the request of
  Oregon Telecommunications Coordinating Council)
 
 
  Whereas health care telecommunications networks in Oregon are
not able to seamlessly interconnect with each other; and
  Whereas it is becoming increasingly important to move health
information, not patients; and
  Whereas the health care and education communities are jointly
involved in health care workforce education; and
  Whereas health care and education telecommunications networks
in Oregon are not able to seamlessly interconnect with each
other; and
  Whereas there is a need for quality of service levels for all
health care and education networks in Oregon; now, therefore,
 
Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of
  Oregon:
 
  The members of the Seventy-fourth Legislative Assembly:
  (1) Declare that it is the policy of the State of Oregon to
promote and facilitate activities by Oregon's health care and
education communities and their telecommunications providers to
develop a network model that provides standards for
interoperability, establishes a peering point for all health care
and education telecommunications in Oregon and establishes
peering agreements among health care and education networks that
contain payment structures.
  (2) Encourage the Oregon Telecommunications Coordinating
Council Health-Education Committee, in collaboration with the
Telehealth Alliance of Oregon, to:
  (a) Work with the health care and education communities and
telecommunications providers to develop a telecommunications
network model consistent with policy adopted in this resolution;
  (b) Report biennially to the Legislative Assembly on progress
in developing a telecommunications network model consistent with
policy adopted in this resolution; and
  (c) Propose any legislation necessary to implement a
telecommunications network model consistent with policy adopted
in this resolution.
