The purpose of this letter is to continue the dialogue regarding the paper "Evolving business models in Orthotics" in the Canadian Prosthetics & Orthotics Journal Volume 4, Issue2, No.3, 2021. In it we present the perspective of the current Alberta Association of Orthotists and Prosthetists (AAOP) and provide additional context and information on historical events. Finally, we provide additional clarity on how costing is approached in the Province of Alberta (Canada) and the purported inequity in compensation between the two disciplines.
这封信的目的是继续就发表于《加拿大假肢与矫形器杂志》2021年第4卷第2期第3号的论文《矫形器领域不断演变的商业模式》展开对话。在文中,我们阐述了当前艾伯塔省矫形师与假肢师协会(AAOP)的观点,并提供了关于历史事件的更多背景信息。最后,我们进一步阐明了加拿大艾伯塔省在成本核算方面的做法以及这两个学科之间所谓的薪酬不公平问题。
