This program will describe the Otolaryngology Hospitalist/Surgeonist as an emerging practice paradigm, compare the implementation at several academic institutions, and discuss the benefits and challenges of the paradigm and its future. The hospitalist model is well established in medicine and in recent years, this model has been adopted by specialty fields. The hospitalist model is particularly relevant to the surgical specialist, the need for whom is often urgent or emergent and whose availability is often limited by an elective practice, potentially on another campus. In 2011, the first Otolaryngology Hospitalist program was implemented and since that time, the paradigm has been applied at several institutions in varying forms, including that of a Surgeonist. What does an Otolaryngology Hospitalist/Surgeonist do? Does your institution need one? How do you implement and integrate the Hospitalist/Surgeonist? Who benefits from this model? How does the billing work and is this financially feasible? Come learn from our panelists who established the inaugural services at four academic institutions. New this year, we’ll be presenting in person! We would love to hear from you and have a robust exchange of ideas and experiences. This model is growing and we need to connect!
