QA Form

A collection of questions (or groups of questions) created for use by QA specialists to grade the quality level of an agent's handling of a contact.

Page 9: Introducing Quality Management Drew Judkins, inContact Larry Fur, inContact Jonathan Judd, RxAmerica

QA Form Template

A read-only QA form created by inContact, which is available to customers to copy and use as a template when creating custom QA forms.

Example: “Customer Service Best Practice”

Page 10: Introducing Quality Management Drew Judkins, inContact Larry Fur, inContact Jonathan Judd, RxAmerica

Question

• A single question on a QA form with a pre-determined "points possible" value (e.g. 10 points)

• The answer that a QA specialist selects for a question determines the "points awarded" (e.g. 8 out of 10 points)

Page 11: Introducing Quality Management Drew Judkins, inContact Larry Fur, inContact Jonathan Judd, RxAmerica

Group

A group of questions on a QA form with a sub-total value calculated by summing the "points awarded" out of "points possible" for all questions within the group.

Example: 40 out of 50 points

Page 12: Introducing Quality Management Drew Judkins, inContact Larry Fur, inContact Jonathan Judd, RxAmerica

Recording

A record of a completed contact; be it by voice, email, or chat (v1 will be voice only)

Page 13: Introducing Quality Management Drew Judkins, inContact Larry Fur, inContact Jonathan Judd, RxAmerica

Quality Score

A percentage calculated by dividing "total points awarded" by "total points possible" for a single question, group of questions, or an entire QA form.

Example:90 out of 100 points = a quality score of 90%

Page 14: Introducing Quality Management Drew Judkins, inContact Larry Fur, inContact Jonathan Judd, RxAmerica

Average Quality Score

• Percentage calculated by dividing "total points awarded" by "total points possible" across multiple QA forms

• Average quality score may be calculated for either an individual agent or a team of agents
