Why this role is important?

Basic function

The Quality Standards and Assurance Specialist is accountable for defining, maintaining and assuring the quality standards against which patient and stakeholder interactions are evaluated, and for converting quality findings into measurable improvement across programs.

The Specialist owns the evaluation criteria, scoring methodology and documentation standards used across Patient Support Programs, and assures the integrity of quality results however they are produced — through manual review, automated evaluation, voice analytics, or any combination of these. Where automated or assisted monitoring is in use, the Specialist is responsible for calibration, validation, oversight of results and adjudication of disputed findings, so that quality outcomes remain defensible to leadership, clients and auditors.

The Specialist performs expert review of complex, sensitive and escalated interactions, identifies quality and compliance gaps, trends and root causes, and works with Operations, Training, Program Management and Compliance to design and verify corrective action. The role supports coaching,



New Hire Readiness and training through evidence-based quality insight, and maintains the records and reporting that support operational oversight and audit readiness.

As the position involves access to highly sensitive patient and business information, the incumbent is expected to demonstrate professionalism, sound judgment, discretion and diplomacy, and to maintain patient confidentiality and privacy in accordance with SDM Specialty Health Network policies, procedures and applicable requirements.

What You Will Do

Quality standards and scoring design

- Own the quality evaluation criteria, scoring methodology, weightings, mandatory elements and documentation standards applied across programs.
- Translate program requirements, approved scripts, SOPs and work instructions into clear, testable evaluation criteria that can be applied consistently by a reviewer or an automated system.
- Review new and revised program requirements, scripts, SOPs and training materials from a quality perspective, and identify where requirements or expectations need clarification or standardization.
- Maintain version control and change history for quality standards, so that any result can be traced to the criteria in force at the time.

Evaluation and assurance of quality results





- Evaluate patient and stakeholder interactions and associated documentation against established program requirements, approved scripts, SOPs and work instructions, quality standards and applicable compliance requirements.
- Conduct expert review of complex, sensitive, disputed and escalated interactions, including those an automated system flags but cannot resolve.
- Where automated, assisted or analytics-based monitoring is in use: calibrate it against the approved standard, validate its outputs through structured sampling, monitor for drift or systematic error, and adjudicate disputed scores.
- Ensure quality results are defensible — that the method, criteria, calibration and rationale behind a score can be explained to leadership, a client or an auditor.
- Lead and participate in calibration sessions to maintain consistency of interpretation across reviewers, programs and systems.
- Conduct targeted quality reviews, documentation audits, case audits and investigations as required.

From findings to measurable improvement

- Analyse quality data across individuals, teams, programs and the organization to identify recurring gaps, emerging risks, trends and root causes.
- Move beyond reporting what happened: lead or support root-cause analysis, recommend specific interventions, and verify through subsequent results whether the intervention worked.
- Monitor mandatory-element failures, compliance findings, quality scores, coaching completion and recurring findings, and elevate significant or compliance-related findings through the established process.
- Prepare quality reporting and insight that supports operational and leadership decision-making, with emphasis on what should change rather than on score summaries alone.
