Licensure
OHA supports appropriate educational and competency assessments for those who provide patient care services to Ohio's citizens.
Hospitals in Ohio are not licensed as they are in other states, but certain services such as maternity, mental health, and skilled nursing units are licensed. Hospitals must be registered and must report certain information to the Ohio Department of Health annually.
OHA has traditionally opposed licensure of new categories of health care providers on the basis that excessive health care licensing regulations pose roadblocks for allowing health care organizations to develop plans to place the right person in the right job.
