Core Success Metrics Qaadir Provides to Clinics
These are quantifiable, measurable KPIs orthotic & prosthetic clinics care about.
A. Clinical Productivity Metrics
| Metric | Typical Improvement | Evidence / Explanation |
|---|---|---|

ROI Calculation Model Used by Qaadir
O&P Clinics want to see direct, financial justification for their digital investment.
ROI Formula
ROI = (Financial Gains – Total Investment Cost) ÷ Total Investment Cost × 100
Qaadir uses four categories of gains:
-
Increased patient throughput (revenue gain)
-
Reduction in clinician time per patient (labour savings)
-
Reduction in rework and fabrication waste
-
Reduced material, shipping, and storage costs
1. Revenue Gain from Higher Throughput
Example
Clinic sees 8 patients/day.
Digital workflow enables 10–12/day.
If each device yields $200 revenue contribution, then:
-
Increase = 2–4 more patients/day
-
Monthly gain (22 workdays) = $8,800 – $17,600
-
Annual gain = $105,600 – $211,200
2. Labour Time Savings
Example
Traditional casting + modification = 3.5 hours/device
Digital workflow reduces it to 2 hours/device
→ Saving = 1.5 hours/device
If technician cost is $15/hour:
-
Savings per device = $22.50
-
Monthly volume = 60 devices
-
Monthly savings = $1,350
-
Annual savings = $16,200
3. Reduction in Rework
Example
Rework per device costs $40–$80
Clinic typically has 20–30% rework rate
Digital reduces this to 5–10%
Annual rework savings typically:
→ $8,000–$20,000 per clinic
4. Material & Casting Cost Savings
No plaster, no bandages, no shipping of casts.
Typical Savings
-
Cast materials per patient = $8–$20
-
Shipping plaster casts to central facility = $15–$25 each
-
Storage space + depreciation savings = $500–$2,000/year
Annual saving:
→ $4,000–$10,000
3. Full ROI Example: $5,000 Digital Kit (Scanner + Software)
Annual Benefits
| Category | Annual Value |
|---|---|
| Throughput revenue gain | $105,600 |
| Labour savings | $16,200 |
| Rework reduction | $8,000 – $20,000 |
| Material savings | $4,000 – $10,000 |
Total Annual Benefit
= $133,800 – $151,800
ROI Calculation
ROI = (136,000 – 5,000) ÷ 5,000 × 100
= 2,620% – 2,900% ROI
Meaning:
Every $1 invested returns $26–$29 within 12 months.
4. Payback Period Clinics See
Based on Qaadir benchmarks:
-
Low-volume clinics: 4–6 months
-
Medium clinics: 2–4 months
-
High-volume labs: < 60 days
