In this episode, recorded live at the 52nd Academy Annual Meeting in Nashville, host Seth O’Brien, CP, FAAOP(D), welcomes Jason Kahle, MSMS, CPO, LPO, FAAOP, for a conversation about making outcome measures more meaningful in clinical practice and reimbursement. Drawing on decades of experience in O&P and research, Kahle questions whether the growing number of available measures has translated into fewer denials and explains why payers often need more than a score to understand a patient’s needs and progress. He discusses the value of patient-reported outcomes and stronger documentation, particularly the subjective portion of the SOAP note, in building a clear and compelling patient story. Kahle also shares practical measures clinicians can incorporate into practice, including tracking stumbles and falls, activities of daily living, the Patient-Specific Functional Scale, ABC and PROMIS PF. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes turning biometrics and changes in function into concise, visual narratives that communicate meaningful outcomes to patients, clinicians, other providers and payers.

In this episode, host Seth O’Brien, CP, FAAOP(D), welcomes David Patterson, MS, CO, LO, founder of GOAL Pediatric Orthotics and chair of the American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists’ new Pediatric Society, to discuss the need for greater education, collaboration, and support in pediatric orthotics. Patterson explains why pediatric care can be challenging for clinicians who see children as only a small portion of their caseload and how the new Society aims to build confidence through mentorship, shared learning, and expanded educational resources. They also explore advances such as 3D printing, the need for stronger pediatric orthotics research and best practices, and the importance of recognizing that treating children requires a different approach shaped by growth, family involvement, and compliance.
