What is the difference between a Missed Call and an Abandoned Call?

Missed Call

Missed calls are calls that could have been answered by a staff member because it either targeted a user directly or joined a queue for a distribution group, but the call was not connected (answered).

A call does not have to make it to the front of a queue to count as missed, it purely has to join the queue, so a missed call could be that someone heard their queue place and decided to hang up to call back later.

Abandoned call

Abandoned calls are calls that staff had no chance of answering as they either did not target a user directly or did not enter a queue for a group of users

Situations where this could be the case are when the caller rings in whilst the practice is closed, or the caller does not respond to a menu and hangs up before making a choice.
