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.
The CPR-EM was established to promote several long-term goals:
- Partner with policy-makers locally, state-wide and nationally, in identifying areas in which high-quality research can contribute to important health policy issues.
- Increase the contribution of Emergency Medicine faculty members to important health policy issues facing our community, our state and our nation.
- Enhance the research activities of the Department of Emergency Medicine, seeking external funding to facilitate this goal.

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.
With a tumultuous last few months, 2020 is a year unlike any other. Your resiliency in the face of these crises and continued willingness to serve our community makes me proud to be part of the ED team. We’re in this together, and we’re not done yet. As the ED is at the forefront of care, we have the opportunity to change the trajectory of care. Research studies are up and running again with some modified protocols, and we have several active or soon-to-be active COVID-19 research studies—both diagnostic and interventional studies. Thank you to every member of our healthcare team.

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
