Chapter 1: The Platform Experience O&P and CRT Practices Need to Move Faster

February 17, 2026

This blog is part two of the From Manual to Modern series and focuses on the platform experience required to support modern O&P and CRT operations.


Traditional systems were designed for linear workflows. Modern O&P and CRT practices are anything but linear. Clinicians, administrators, and billing teams manage multiple cases, tools, and priorities simultaneously. Platform design must reflect that reality.

Cloud-First Access Enables Real Work

Cloud-native platforms allow teams to access charts, documentation, inventory, and dashboards from anywhere without VPNs or remote desktops. This is especially important for CRT providers coordinating across clinics, hospitals, fabrication centers, and payer workflows.


Industry organizations like OPGA and AOPA consistently emphasize scalability and operational excellence as priorities for the future of the profession, reinforcing the need for flexible, accessible technology, as reflected in OPGA’s insights on trends shaping the orthotics and prosthetics profession.

Multi-Window Workflows Reduce Friction

O&P and CRT teams frequently need to reference charts, orders, documentation, inventory, and billing details at the same time. Multi-window workflows reduce context switching and eliminate unnecessary task resets.



This capability becomes even more critical in CRT cases, where long timelines and multiple stakeholders require constant coordination.

Mobile and Role-Based Design

Mobile and tablet optimization allows clinicians to document assessments, capture signatures, and upload photos in real time. Role-based dashboards ensure that clinicians, administrators, and billing teams see what matters most to them without unnecessary noise.



The result is a platform that supports productivity instead of slowing it down.

In the next post, we examine how this platform foundation improves clinical operations, inventory, and purchasing workflows.
