Center for Policy and Research in Emergency Medicine (CPR-EM)
7/1/2020 Congratulations to Dr. Esther Choo, EM Research Fellowship Director, who was promoted to Professor of Emergency Medicine today. Dr. Choo is an incredibly productive researcher and a strong advocate for many issues impacting our community including gender and race inequities, substance use disorders, and health disparities.
7/1/2020 Congratulations to Dr. Bory Kea who was promoted to Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine. Dr. Kea also serves as the Director of Clinical Trials, and currently leads a number of research projects in Emergency Medicine.
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.
Thank you to every member of our healthcare team--your service keeps our hospitals running for our community. While many research studies have been put on pause, there are new studies on the horizon to support COVID-19 research. Look out for a future update on these studies as the ED is a critical site for both diagnostic and interventional studies.

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
