Every year one of our issues of the magazine focuses on the business side of O&P—after all, the important clinical care can’t happen if the business doesn’t thrive. This year, we investigate areas that can have a significant impact on a business but may not be as obvious as what we usually think of in terms of operating a practice, things such as reimbursement tips or managing accounts receivable. Instead, we look at how using professional consultants, workplace culture, and patients’ perception of clinicians’ professionalism through their attire can affect a clinic’s financial footing.
Company culture is an intangible part of any business but can definitely impact its success. As the O&P field faces challenges in employee retention and burnout, building a positive company culture can go a long way in alleviating these pressures. In “Today’s O&P Workforce: Meeting Needs and Challenges Through Better Workplace Culture,” O&P professionals share their tips to create a company culture in which employees can thrive—a result that business experts agree has a direct effect on the bottom line.
