Operations KPIOperations & staffing

Staff Interruptions Cut

Tracks how much walk-up and internal interruptions fall once AI deflects routine calls.

Front-desk leads use this KPI to show operations leadership that AI frees staff to focus on in-person patients. It measures the percentage reduction in blind transfers and mid-task interruptions.

Reduction range

40–60%

Within 30 days of AI absorbing Tier 1 calls.

Key drivers

Instant routing + structured summaries

Fewer clarifying callbacks needed.

Baseline interruptions

  • Have staff tally pull-offs, blind transfers, and drop-ins for one week.
  • Pair qualitative notes with counts to show pain.

Re-measure post-launch

  • Repeat the tally two weeks after AI go-live.
  • Publish before/after stats with quotes from the floor team.

Assumptions

What this KPI assumes

Routing discipline

AI collects intent + metadata so staff trust summaries.

Change management

Staff know when AI will hand off vs. fully resolve.

Supporting proofs

Share with finance + ops partners
