In the United States, most healthcare professions including O&P are under intense pressure to provide cost effective treatments and quantifiable health outcomes. Pivotal changes are needed in the way O&P services are provided to remain competitive. This will require the integration of new technologies and data driven processes that have the potential to streamline workflows, reduce errors and inform new methods of clinical care and device manufacturing. Academia can lead this change, starting with a restructuring in academic program curricula that will enable the next generation of professionals to cope with multiple demands such as the provision of services for an increasing number of patients by a relatively small workforce of certified practitioners delivering these services at a reduced cost, with the expectation of significant, meaningful, and measurable value. Key curricular changes will require replacing traditional labor-intensive and inefficient fabrication methods with the integration of newer technologies (i.e., digital shape capture, digital modeling/rectification and additive manufacturing). Improving manufacturing efficiencies will allow greater curricular emphasis on clinical training and education - an area that has traditionally been underemphasized. Providing more curricular emphasis on holistic patient care approaches that utilize systematic and evidence-based methods in patient assessment, treatment planning, dosage of O&P technology use, and measurement of patient outcomes is imminent. Strengthening O&P professionals' clinical decision-making skills and decreasing labor-intensive technical fabrication aspects of the curriculum will be critical in moving toward a digital and technology-centric practice model that will enable future practitioners to adapt and survive.</p>","PeriodicalId":32763,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Prosthetics Orthotics Journal","volume":"4 2","pages":"36673"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10443467/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10067975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In preparing for this Special Edition, as Co-Editor-in-Chief, I felt it important to include the story of the Sabolich vision for prosthetic clinical practice and their experiences in achieving that vision. Their story is an important part of the history of prosthetic clinical practice in the United States. Their rethinking of what a clinical practice could look like and function as was far-sighted. Achieving it required both risk taking, as well as a new business model. The reaction from other Prosthetic and Orthotic practitioners was strong. Some saw the new model as visionary while others found it provocative. The model was based on a concierge style practice, which provided a premium service to a patient from first appointment to providing and maintaining of their device. They then went further than that by incorporating in-house research into their facility to develop new and innovative prosthetic approaches that would make them leaders in the field of socket design and fit. Their vision was to be a Center of Excellence for Prosthetics and Orthotics Practices, a vison that many people within the sector would likely agree was achieved. I invited current CEO of Scott Sabolich Prosthetics and Research to reflect back on the history of his family's business and how multiple generations of his family were able to see gaps and create opportunities where others could not see beyond the status quo and even fought hard to maintain the status quo. The evolution of this company provides insight into the successful development of novel business practices and economics in Prosthetics and Orthotics, while staying true to core service principles. The result was a business model that, in hind sight, had future-proofed the company in the face of the global economic challenges that impacted the sector in 2008-9 and beyond. It is also an indicator of what opportunities there are, at the business, clinical and technical levels, for those who take the risk of breaking from the status quo. Because of time and capacity constraints on the part of Mr. Scott Sabolich, it was agreed that his professional opinions and insights would be done in an interview format.</p>","PeriodicalId":32763,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Prosthetics Orthotics Journal","volume":"4 2","pages":"37089"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10443496/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10059637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The best way to consider this is to align and join all the known dots. To think of Prosthetics and Orthotics (P&O) as a system holistically centred around care of the user, identifying all their needs continuously, in their environment and in their lifestyle. This could produce a new value proposition for all multi-disciplinary team members by generating patient-centred therapeutic benefits and clinical outcomes that align all stakeholders in P&O towards using a common narrative, which makes decisions based on data. In this case, data is the outcome, using Standards and Instruments which are validated (e.g. www.amprom.uk) to quantify questions such as: \"Have we reduce risk of falls?\", \"Have we reduced risk of tissue injury?\", \"Have we reduced risk of low back pain?\", \"Have we reduced long term risk of osteoarthritis?\", etc. If we have, we are assured this will benefit the comfort and confidence for the user. We can have confidence in rehabilitation measured by improved stability and increased activity, and other measures which enable the accurate classification of products and services to match users. A prescription index, based on Outcomes, could, for example, be calculated by a formula which accounts for the percentage reduction in falls probability, a patient satisfaction score, a mobility score and a quality-of-life score, allowing practitioners to base their choices of treatment pathways and component selection.
