Center for Policy and Research in Emergency Medicine (CPR-EM)
Overview
The OHSU Center for Policy and Research in Emergency Medicine's breakthrough research leads to new standards of care and a better understanding of important issues involving emergency medicine, disaster preparedness, and toxicology.
At the OHSU Center for Policy and Research in Emergency Medicine (CPR-EM), our mission consists of reducing inequities, including, but not limited to, those based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, immigration status, religion, and disability. In particular, we acknowledge the legacy of racism that is embedded in American society and institutions, and we are actively working to be catalysts of change to dismantle these harmful structures. Our commitment involves reflecting principles of equity across all functions of our organization, including in its culture, governance, hiring practices, salaries, research areas of focus, and the conduct of our research.

Commuter spotlight: Tyne Riddick
Our colleague, Tyne, was featured in the "OHSU My Commute" newsletter in June! It's a great story to put a smile on your face.
"My car broke down December 3, 2020 and I was left stranded. My partner and I had moved into the city to be closer to the hustle and bustle but I was still largely a car commuter despite the walkability of the city. When I began working at OHSU, I knew that I wanted to try alternative transportation, especially since my car was effectively a paper weight. Unfortunately, I could not afford a bike; so I walked. The hour walk was peaceful. It allowed me to listen to a podcast or two, finish a few audio books, and most importantly get some exercise. Luckily, I found Brilliant Bicycles Ambassador program. They gave me a free bike so that I could commute to and from school and work in exchange for some social media posts! I was happy to oblige! It is a sweet little forest green 3-speed commuter. So far, it has been the best thing to happen to me in 2021!"

6/1/2021- Congratulations to Dr. Bory Kea, Associate Professor, and Director of Clinical Trials for the Dept of Emergency Medicine, was awarded her first NIH R01 Grant, for her project titled: "Optimizing Stroke Prophylaxis of Acute Atrial Fibrillation with an Electronic Clinical Decision Support Tool: A Stepped-Wedge Cluster Randomized Trial Design", from the National Hearth Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI). This is an important milestone in the research career of clinician-scientists, and represents an incredible amount of hard work, and perserverance.
Spring 2021 - The Center for Policy and Research in Emergency Medicine was ranked 10th in Emergency Medical Research Rankings by the Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research. CPR-EM has ranked in the top 10 for 9 years running thanks to the excellence and hard work of our faculty and staff.
C3PO - Clinical Trial of COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma of Outpatients
In August 2020, the OHSU ED began enrolling in the C3PO trial which is designed to confirm or refute the role of passive immunization as a safe and efficacious therapy in preventing the progression from mild to severe/critical COVID-19 illness and to understand the immunologic kinetics of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies after passive immunization.
This study concluded on 2/25/2021 after enrolling 511 subjects nationwide; 27 subjects were enrolled at OHSU.
The results from this study are expected to be published in early summer, and we will provide a summary and link here once those results are available.
Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, some of the ED research projects listed below are currently suspended from enrolling subjects, however our research teams continue to engage in research activities that can be accomplished.

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our esteemed colleague, Dana Zive, Sunday, September 30, 2018.
Dana was the Director of the Oregon POLST Registry, Associate Director of the OHSU Center for Ethics in Health Care, and a Research Assistant Professor in the OHSU Department of Emergency Medicine and CPR-EM. She earned her B.S. in Environmental Chemistry and Toxicology at the University of Nevada, Reno, and her M.P.H. in Public Health Education and Biostats/Epidemiology from San Jose State University. Dana joined OHSU in 2004, and her areas of focus included end-of-life care and emergency care research.
Dana was integrally involved in many DEM research efforts, including the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (many out-of-hospital interventional trials in cardiac arrest and trauma) and the Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment Program (POLST). She was key in developing and implementing the Oregon electronic POLST registry, including legislated state funding. Dana has been a fundamental member of CPREM throughout our years of building infrastructure and growth. She had a true research mind and a passion for data. She was our colleague and friend and will be dearly missed.
Dana is survived by her husband and daughter (Lola, 8). If you have a story about Dana you would like to share with her family, please send your thoughts to cookjen@ohsu.edu
