What:
With both supplier and clinician under tighter and tighter time constraints, it is so easy to jump into an assessment part way, skipping over critical steps that provide a successful outcome for the client. It is tempting to quickly size up a client and begin matching products to apparent need. A thorough assessment starts at the beginning, literally, by carefully reviewing client and team goals and the etiology of specific positioning challenges before jumping to product options. Bring your thinking cap and be ready for some interactive problem-solving! When:
