Academy meetings generally stick to clinical and scientific topics leaving the ins and outs of running a business to others. At the October 1-2 Continuing Ed Conf in Las Vegas the Arizona Chapter and the Academy are taking a different perspective. The approach is based on the often heard saying to continue to do good you must also do well...
O&P has many gifted and talented people who, at times, may have difficulty in marketing their practices or articulating what it is they have to offer that distinguishes them from other facilities. As part of the two-day program a half-day workshop will be devoted to The Business of O&P. Topics and include:
Reimbursement for New Technologies (how to get paid for new stuff, even if an L-code doesn't exist yet) . . .
Entrepreneurial Dream to New Business Start-Up (critical issues to consider before you open your own practice or another satellite office)
Profitability in O&P (just because you're busy doesn't mean you're making money).
The workshop will be led by two individuals with more than three decades of practical experience in analyzing, evaluating, and improving O&P practices: Joyce Peronne, Practice Administrator, and Rob Benedetti, Comptroller, at DeLa Torre O&P.
Other sessions offered at the CEC will focus on:
- new concepts for upper-extremity prosthetic fitting
- new technology in neuro-rehab
- transfemoral & transtibial gait
- a preliminary report on a graphite AFO
- burn/wound & scar management
Hotel reservations may be made directly with the Flamingo Hotel at 702-733-3111. Meeting registration may be handled on the Academy's website (www.oandp.org) or by calling (703) 836-0788.
Complete program information may be found on the Academy's website.
