THE PATH TO 100 AND HOW WE GET YOU TO A PERFECT SCORE.

  • We deepen the on-site assessment, study patient and staff flow, and identify root causes behind your score gaps.

  • We translate findings into a brand-aligned, operationally optimized design strategy tailored to your patient base and growth goals.

  • We deliver the design — branding, interiors, layout, and experience — and project-manage execution end-to-end.

  • Six months post-completion, we re-score your practice. The proof is in the new number.

KAPPLER PERFORMANCE INDEX FAQ

  • The Kappler Performance Index is a design evaluation framework that measures how well a clinical space performs across key operational and experiential dimensions. It translates design into a clear, quantified score out of 100.

  • The Index evaluates a practice across 10 design categories, including workflow, patient experience, branding, and technology integration. Each category reflects a core component of how a clinic operates day-to-day.

  • Each category is scored on a 1–5 scale across multiple sub-items, then normalized to a score out of 10. The total across all categories creates the overall score out of 100.

  • A trained Kappler evaluator conducts the assessment on-site, observing real workflows, patient flow, and spatial performance.

  • At Kappler, we treat the clinic as a system, not just a space. Design directly shapes:

    • Patient experience

    • Staff efficiency and retention

    • Operational flow

    This is why the Index exists: to connect design decisions to measurable outcomes.

  • We use the Index as a starting point to:

    1. Diagnose root causes behind gaps

    2. Build a design strategy

    3. Implement changes

    4. Re-score post-completion

    The goal is simple: move your practice meaningfully closer to 100.

  • No. The Index is explicitly about performance, not surface-level design.
    It evaluates how your space functions operationally, and how it impacts outcomes over time.
