AOPA Creates Online O&P Product Resource
AOPA recently launched the O&P Yellow
Pages, a comprehensive guide to the latest O&P products and
services. Created as a one-stop Web resource for O&P practitioners,
the site allows viewers to peruse available O&P products from
dozens of O&P suppliers.
The site is located at
www.AOPAnet.org/opyellowpages.
AOPA decided to develop the O&P Yellow Pages
late last year in response to the popularity of the annual O&P
Almanac Buyer’s Guide and the AOPA Yearbook product listings.
AOPA staff spent over three months designing the O&P Yellow Pages
Web site, making it as user-friendly as possible to ensure quick and
simple access to a full list of O&P products.
On the main menu, viewers can search by the
following categories: lab and clinical supplies, lab equipment, O&P
service providers, orthotics, prosthetics and miscellaneous.
Each category provides several subcategories so that
O&P practitioners can use the site to determine what, if any,
products are available in their local area. The main menu also includes
a listing of all AOPA supplier members.
AOPA staff spent significant time collecting
information about O&P suppliers’ current and available
products. Before the launch of the site, AOPA staff coordinated
directly with the O&P suppliers to ensure all listings were
complete and all contact information was correct.
The O&P Yellow Pages is constantly updated to
provide practitioners with the most current information and to allow
them to view what products each company has to offer. The site is
designed so that O&P practitioners can quickly find the products
best suited for their company and patients.
