A Case Manager from OCWCOG will assess the caregiver’s responsibilities, the elderly person’s or disabled person’s needs and develop a plan to foster a supportive, caring environment, along with a healthy, quality of life for the caregiver and care-receiver.

(10) OHSU Physician-to-Physician Advice and Referral Service
https://www.ohsu.edu/referral-service
If you are a licensed, direct-care provider in Oregon , you can call the Physician Advice and Referral line, which OHSU provides for free as a service to the state. OHSU providers can offer:
General care condition advice for patients who do not need transfer to OHSU.
A few options for treatment considerations.
Recommendations for whether a patient would be best served with an OHSU visit (in-person, virtual, telephone).
Note: Advice calls do not offer chart review, radiology imaging review or discussions about possible inter-hospital transfers.
Call us at 503-494-4567. Hours are 7 a.m.-7 p.m. daily for most specialties.
When providing advice to you, OHSU physicians are not diagnosing a patient's condition, nor are they providing treatment to a patient. Thus, they are not establishing a physician-patient relationship. All treatment and diagnostic decisions remain with you, the treating provider, when an OHSU physician is providing advice to you.
