EMS & Trauma Systems Complaint Intake Form

Thank you for expressing your concerns with the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Emergency Medical Services and Trauma Systems Professional Standards Unit (PSU). The information provided will be carefully reviewed to determine if the complaint identifies a potential violation of applicable Oregon Revised Statute and/or Oregon Administrative Rules enforced by PSU. If it is determined that your concerns may fall under the jurisdiction of another agency or organization, OHA will notify you and provide you with that information.


OHA will keep complaint and complainant information confidential as required by law. Please note that there may be circumstances, such as during an investigation or a hearing, where your identity as the complainant may be disclosed.


To facilitate OHA’s review, please complete this form as thoroughly as possible. If you prefer not to disclose your identity, you may indicate n/a rather than provide your name or contact information. However, this may impair OHA’s ability to review or investigate your complaint.
