Partnering with Therapists Becoming More Prevalent

CEC Admin

collaborate

Betta Ferrendelli’s recent article in the O&P Edge, Partnering With Therapists: Improving Patient Access and Outcomes Through Collaboration, is a good look at why the relationship between O&P and the therapy community is so important.

Physical Therapists are lucky if they receive three credit hours of O&P training throughout their entire collegiate careers.  So who better to educate therapists about orthotics and prosthetics than orthotists and prosthetists?

Providing regular in-services to your therapists is a great way to strengthen relationships and showcase your expertise as a clinician.  Learn more about education-based marketing.

Board chair Elizabeth Mansfield said, “In choosing an interim director, the board started by identifying immediate priorities for the coming months, including building partnerships, improving communications, and operational efficiency. We feel that George is the right person to lead the organization while it addresses these and other important issues.”

George will partner with the US ISPO Board of Directors on organizational
and strategic planning, and oversee US ISPO’s relocation. Our commitment is
to maintain our high standards during the transition and continue to offer
the organization a promising future. Please join me in welcoming George

Above Knee Patient Education Literature

CEC Admin

AK Booklet Pic

Above Knee Prosthetics: Preparing Your Residual Limb for Prosthetic Use (CEC Demo AK Booklet) is a 16-page, patient-education brochure that can be customized with your brand.

The front and back cover will feature your logo, colors, and contact information. The 3rd page is reserved for your story. It will be about who you are and what you do. Tell everyone what sets you apart and why your brand is important. Your educational material is part of your message – your branding. Make sure it’s an accurate representation of your reputation.

This is a custom brochure. So if you have high resolution images of your patients, staff, or facility you want substituted for the stock photos in the brochure we can absolutely have that conversation. We can even arrange to have a photographer come to your facility and take professional images.

Our content is written for patients. The brochure clearly explains the prosthetic process from the beginning. There is a glossary and section of frequently asked questions. The questions can be changed to meet your preferences and the content can be revised to reflect the way you practice. The prosthetic process the patients learn about will be yours.
