This article aims to define the changes needed to operate an academic otolaryngology practice safely and efficiently from within the epicenter of the pandemic. We define the areas of normal patient workflow that have been affected by COVID\u201019, and we offer mitigation strategies with attention paid to the specific needs of subspecialties.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Data Sources<\/jats:title><jats:p>The article includes data specific to the office practice metrics of the Weill Cornell Medicine Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery, as well as publically available data from New York Presbyterian Hospital system and the <jats:italic>New York Times<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Review Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Expert opinion.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Through careful planning and execution, it is possible to reestablish safe otolaryngologic patient care during the COVID\u201019 pandemic. It will require a significant change from prior practice models for successful implementation.

The methods used to identify vulnerabilities with the patient visit process can be applied to future unforeseen crises, such as a resurgence of COVID\u201019 or a novel pandemic.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599820955178","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,1]],"date-time":"2020-09-01T04:03:15Z","timestamp":1598932995000},"page":"528-541","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Establishing an Office\u2010Based Framework for Resuming Otolaryngology Care in Academic Practice During the COVID\u201019\u00a0Pandemic"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"164","author":[{"given":"Aaron N.","family":"Pearlman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery Weill Cornell Medicine New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abtin","family":"Tabaee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery Weill Cornell Medicine New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anthony P.","family":"Sclafani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery Weill Cornell Medicine New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lucian","family":"Sulica","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery Weill Cornell Medicine New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samuel H.","family":"Selesnick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery Weill Cornell Medicine New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David I.","family":"Kutler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery Weill Cornell Medicine New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joseph J.","family":"Montano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery Weill Cornell Medicine New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joshua I.","family":"Levinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery Weill Cornell Medicine New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria V.","family":"Suurna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery Weill Cornell Medicine New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vikash K.","family":"Modi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery Weill Cornell Medicine New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael G.","family":"Stewart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head and Neck Surgery Weill Cornell Medicine New York New York USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599820926144"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjoto.2020.102508"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.26164"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599820921395"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjoto.2020.102491"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anorl.2020.04.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599820921393"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599820923633"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/fpsam.2020.0239"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.26197"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s40463-020-00429-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s40463-020-00424-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s40463-020-00425-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_15_1","article-title":"Appendix B: air.
