Focus areas
Reliability matters.
So does accountability.
These are the service-quality questions this advocacy project aims to examine. They are areas for inquiry, not findings against a provider.
Handoffs
Continuity during interpreter changes
How can calls remain connected during breaks, shift changes, and other handoffs? Technical reliability and interpreter-quality concerns need distinct review paths.
Video mail
Clear, usable video messages
How can video-mail quality be assessed consistently? Reports of blur or pixelation need supporting examples before their technical cause is identified.
Complaints
A clearer route to resolution
How can users see that a report was received, where it was routed, its current status, and what was done? This includes questions about the 9050 support structure.
Provider accountability
Performance that can be evaluated
What evidence should be used to review platform and vendor performance, corrective action, and potential alternatives?
Quality of service
Measurable improvement
What useful measures can show whether service is improving? Proposed metrics must be distinguished from measured results and existing requirements.
