In order to do our best to support PSWs in the transition to the state’s new Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) system, we’ve compiled links to every help resource we’re aware of and posted them on our website on one easy-to-access page.

Here you’ll find:

    • EVV training videos
    • Information on how to sign up for local EVV trainings
    • Information on how to create a user account on DHS’s iLearn training portal
    • Oregon DHS technical assistance documents and FAQs
    • Contacts to help you find help when you need it

The roll out for EVV began on July 16th, 2019. While there is currently no penalty for not using the EVV system, we strongly encourage you to give it a try so that you get used to it during the early roll out and are ready to go when it becomes mandatory later this year. We’ve had feedback from PSWs who’ve told us that for mobile users the EVV interface is actually an improvement over the existing eXPRS interface. Give it a try. There’s no time like the present.

Please understand that beyond sharing the resources the state has created, we aren’t able to offer much technical support for EVV. We’re learning right alongside you. If someone on our staff is unable to help you navigate the EVV interface on your mobile device, it’s not because we don’t want to; it’s because we don’t have any special knowledge that you don’t have. In fact, as a PSW you have a leg-up on us because you can log in and see the EVV interface. There is no testing or training environment for us to see what you see. We hope to get a better handle on what the screens look like as the roll out progresses, but in meantime please use the training resources created by the state.
