NENA Announces New QA/QI Standard

The new ANSI-approved Standard for the Establishment of a Quality Assurance and Quality Improvement Program for Public Safety Answering Points (APCO/NENA ANS 1.107.1-?-2015) defines the recommended minimum components and best practices of a Quality Assurance/Quality Improvement (QA/QI) program within a public safety communications center. Recommended minimum requirements for the evaluation and QA of call processing are intended to ensure a consistent, effective, and efficient level of service.

This standard is an attempt to establish a long overdue quality assurance and improvement process to all of America’s 9-1-1 telecommunicators to ensure call taking and radio dispatch actions are delivered at the highest possible standard.
