About O&P Business Consulting

Ready today for the challenges of tomorrow.

Orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) businesses are under increasing pressure. A shortage of skilled professionals, rising patient numbers, a healthcare system that is becoming more economically driven, and overall cost increases are just some of the many challenges they face. Smaller businesses in particular often reach their personnel and financial capacity limits very quickly.

O&P Business Consulting is a comprehensive consulting service offered by Ottobock. It supports O&P businesses in establishing a stable position within a changing market environment. The goal is to help participating businesses achieve long-term economic sustainability while permanently reducing the workload of their employees.

Focus Areas

Optimizing processes, Leveraging potential.

O&P Business Consulting is aimed particularly at small and medium-sized orthotic and prosthetic businesses. Together with all employees, we analyze structures and processes within the company to identify optimization potential and make workflows related to patient care more efficient.

Specifically, this means: Where can we reduce workloads? Are tasks within the company distributed optimally? How is the workshop equipped? Can technical tools be used more effectively? What is the company’s current level of digitalization?

Process

Finding and Implementing Solutions Together.

O&P Business Consulting is divided into three phases. We support your team from start to finish.

Analyze

The starting point of an O&P Business Consulting project is a two-day workshop at your facility. On site, we work together to gain a detailed understanding of workflows and responsibilities, as well as the organization of work areas. Using an exemplary patient journey, processes and responsibilities are visually mapped. Together with the team, the current situation is then analyzed and any challenges and areas requiring action are identified.

Select

The valuable insights gained during the workshop are incorporated into a detailed report, which also includes concrete solution proposals. During a follow-up meeting, both are presented to you, and we explain a possible practical implementation in detail. The set of solutions you subsequently select forms the basis for a tailored package of measures aimed at optimizing your operational processes and ensuring sustainable success.
