[upbeat music] Welcome to the 44th episode of O&P Rising, an original podcast series produced by the American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists.
I'm Emily Dinelli, a graduate research assistant with the Center for Rehabilitation Outcomes Research at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, and a PhD student in health services and outcomes research at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine.
Fannie is a certified ABC orthotist prosthetist and an American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists fellow with distinction, as well as a fellow of the Thought Leadership and Innovation Foundation.
She currently serves as the executive director of the Live in Motion Foundation.
Gracie is a faculty at Texas Christian University, where she directs the Limb Loss and Difference Lab, and she is on the board of directors for the O&P Foundation.
It's great to be here in Nashville for the 52nd Academy Annual Meeting and Scientific Symposium.
Earlier today, you both took part in the session Quality of Care in O&P: What Is It and Why Should You Care? And the conversation was compelling.
The people in the audience were engaging, and we wanna keep this conversation going, so we're gonna do that here.
So to start and to just lay the groundwork for this episode, can you share what is healthcare quality, and why should we care?
