The Cooperative Outcomes Group for ENT (COG*ENT), a clinical outcomes project of the American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery Foundation, was established to assess clinical outcomes of otolaryngological care of patients with two diseases, otitis media and rhinosinusitis. COG*ENT has produced an assessment tool with many potential applications. The development and early experience of the Foundation with this project are described, emphasizing the factors the authors believe are important for success.
