Denneny III, MD, AAO-HNS/F EVP/CEO, will lead a panel discussion informing attendees on how the AAO-HNS has been working aggressively over the last two years to create a clinical data registry that will help provide its members from all practice settings the tools they need to participate in successor payment and practice models, plus attendees will learn how Reg-ent is launching into its next phase of growth with more capabilities and opportunities.

Quality

Reg-ent, Research & Quality Booth.

Make sure to stop by the Reg-ent, Research & Quality booth, conveniently located in Academy Central in the GWCC Main Lobby from Saturday, October 6 to Wednesday, October 10. The Reg-ent team will be available to answer all your questions regarding Reg-ent participation, current and future registry capabilities, MIPS reporting, registry quality measures and data, and more. The Measures team will be available to address measure-specific questions as well as discuss the measure development process. Representatives from Reg-ent’s technology partner, FIGmd, will be providing demonstrations of the Reg-ent dashboard and its enhanced features and functionality.

Users

Reg-ent Users Group.

The first Reg-ent Users Group Conference is on Sunday, October 7, 10:00 am – 12:30 pm (ET) in GWCC, Building B, Room 409. Open to all current Reg-ent participants (AAO-HNS members and their practice administrators), the Reg-ent Users Group Conference is a wonderful opportunity to meet and interact with other Reg-ent practice sites, learn more about new approaches to measures mapping, and explore new Reg-ent technology. Reg-ent’s technology partner, FIGmd, will demonstrate the new Reg-ent dashboard, share details on how to be successful in securing your data, and provide EHR-specific updates.

Private practice otolaryngology is not a dying concept
I am a committed private practice otolaryngologist, and one major theme for my year as AAO-HNS/F President has been to reinforce and reassure our membership that the premise of the “demise of private practice” is a false one.

On private practice
One of the primary goals of the Academy is to provide our members with the tools they need to provide the best patient care. That involves using our traditional areas of expertise—such as advocacy, analysis, education, and quality—to help create practice paradigms in which otolaryngologists can participate and thrive whether they are generalists or specialists in academic, employed, or private practice.
