Otolaryngology residency training, along with the world of online medical education, has been continuously evolving and refining methods to educate and produce competent otolaryngologists. Numerous resources have been developed to assist otolaryngology residents in enhancing their clinical training. Although these resources greatly enhance clinical training, the growing volume of material presents a challenge within the constrained schedule of otolaryngology residents.

Article Synopsis
  • - Quality measurement is vital for improving clinical care, but creating these measures is often time-consuming and expensive; ECRI has developed a systematic approach to transform clinical guidelines into electronic quality measures efficiently.
  • - By following a reproducible process, electronic quality measures were developed from AAO-HNSF guidelines on cerumen impaction and allergic rhinitis, resulting in 7 published quality measures from 29 recommendations.
  • - The successful development of these measures demonstrates the feasibility of using a structured process to create effective quality measures, with 6 of the 7 approved as MIPS measures that highlighted ongoing care gaps after data review.

Objective: (1) To describe the patient and membership cohort captured by the otolaryngology-based specialty-specific Reg-ent registry. (2) To outline the capabilities of the Reg-ent registry, including the process by which members can access evidence-based data to address knowledge gaps identified by the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery/Foundation and ultimately define "quality" for our field of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery.

Methods: Data analytics was performed on Reg-ent (2015-2020).
