(1)(a) As a condition of being authorized to practice a profession in this state, a health care practitioner or designee must submit to the Oregon Health Authority, an entity that has entered into a contract with the authority under ORS 441.226 (1)(b) or a health care regulatory board the credentialing information identified by the authority under ORS 441.226 (2)(a).
(b) A health care practitioner that, in good faith, submits credentialing information under this subsection is immune from civil liability that might otherwise be incurred or imposed with respect to the submission of that credentialing information.
(2) The authority may require a health care regulatory board, after consulting with the health care regulatory board, to provide or supplement the credentialing information identified by the authority under ORS 441.226 (2)(a).
(3)(a) A credentialing organization shall obtain from the authority, or an entity that has entered into a contract with the authority under ORS 441.226 (1)(b), the credentialing information of the health care practitioner that is kept and maintained in the electronic database described in ORS 441.226. A credentialing organization may not request credentialing information from a health care practitioner if the credentialing information is available through the database. However, nothing in ORS 441.224 to 441.233 shall prevent a credentialing organization from requesting additional credentialing information from a health care practitioner for the purpose of completing credentialing procedures for the health care practitioner used by the credentialing organization.
(b) A credentialing organization that, in good faith, uses credentialing information provided under this subsection for the purposes established by the authority under ORS 441.226 (2)(e) is immune from civil liability that might otherwise be incurred or imposed with respect to the use of that credentialing information.
