Care Management Plus

This program began as a cooperative project between the Oregon Health & Science University and The John A. Hartford Foundation. Our mission is to improve the quality of care for seniors and patients with chronic illnesses using care managers and information systems. We invite you to explore our website and learn more about the tremendous benefits clinical care management can offer to staff and patients alike.

Healthcare Ethical AI Lab (HEAL)

The Healthcare Ethical AI Lab (HEAL) is focused on the development and application of Transparent Algorithms and Ethical AI in Healthcare. Its research spans four main areas: data systems aligned with FAIR and CARE principles, development of ethical artificially intelligent systems, addressing healthcare challenges, and conducting analysis for integrated solutions focusing on health equity.

The research team, led by Mohammad Adibuzzaman, Ph.D., specializes in healthcare data curation, bioinformatics, and bioethics. More information here.

Pacific Northwest Evidence-based Practice Center

The Pacific Northwest Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) conducts systematic reviews of healthcare topics for federal and state agencies and private foundations. These reviews report the evidence from clinical research studies and the quality of that evidence for use by policymakers in decisions on guidelines and coverage issues.

Oregon Clinical & Translational Research

Oregon Clinical & Translational Research (OCTRI) was established in 2006 as one of 12 academic health centers across the nation awarded with a Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) from the National Institutes of Health. Initially, OCTRI focused its energy and resources on building clinical and translational research at Oregon Health & Science University and the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research. We are broadening our efforts to partner with regional institutions interested in biomedical issues, including academic institutions and members of industry. Our hope is to provide a regional platform for clinical and translational research and to increase collaboration with a variety of clinical and basic science investigators. Moreover, we are working towards additional partnerships with regional communities and governments to maximize our collective ability to stimulate research that is relevant to the health of our communities. We also use the unique perspective of the community to help guide priorities and opportunities for research and training.

Surgical Data and Decision Sciences Laboratory

We are in an era of transformation in healthcare – one that brings the practice of surgery with the precision of surgical decision sciences and the power of data analytics. This convergence is reshaping the landscape of surgery. The OHSU Surgical Data and Decision Sciences lab is leading this transformation. Our surgical world includes not only the human body with its intricate complexity but the data available to us to empower data-driven decision-making tailored to each patient. Surgical decision and data sciences, an amalgamation of clinical expertise and data analytics can build guidance to navigate through uncertainties, leading surgeons and patients to more deeply informed choices.
