Acute Care Policy
Meet Our Team
Alexis Zebrowski
Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine and Populate Health
Dr. Zebrowski received her doctorate in Epidemiology from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and previously completed her Master of Public Health degree at the University of Pennsylvania in 2015. She is developing a new measure for the intensity of trauma care and investigating how intensity of care varies by patient characteristics, across hospitals, and relates to outcomes. Dr Zebrwoski serves as the lead statistical analyst for PSR.
David Buckler, MUSA
Lead Data Analyst
Mr. Buckler is a paramedic researcher whose current research focuses on cardiac arrest, health geography, and emergency conditions. Mr. Buckler has an expertise in clinical epidemiology research and technical expertise in spatial analytics and the modeling of clinical outcomes data. Mr. Buckler holds a Masters of Urban Spatial Analytics from University of Pennsylvania and serves as the Lead GIS Analyst for PSR.

Erin Hall, MD
Mentee
I am currently a trauma surgeon and Assistant Professor at Georgetown University School of Medicine. I have dedicated much of my research to expanding understanding of long-term outcomes in trauma. I have used both qualitative and quantitative methods to track longer term outcomes in trauma patients at a local level and to understand which outcomes are most meaningful for our trauma patients. I am working with PRS to apply novel computational algorithms and clinical insight to transform outcome measures across the national trauma system and lead to the ability to improve long-term outcomes on that system-wide level.
