Observation Checklists

  • Tip Sheets
    • Employee Views their Checklists 
    • Validator Checks off an Employee
    • Manager Views Observation Checklist Reports
  • FAQs
    • What are the benefits of moving to this tool vs. current practice? Observation Checklists in Cornerstone are a more streamlined and consolidated version of paper checklists.  Managers can easily pull up reports of their employees’ progress, and employees can view their list of checklists and competencies at any time.

    • Who are assigned validators? Validators include anyone in a UD, CNS, CNE, CNM, NPD, ANI, and ANII position, as well as anyone else that unit leadership selects. These validators are approved per accreditation regulatory requirements.

    • How can a manager add a validator?  To add a validator that is not included in one of the above roles, please email [email protected] with each validator's name, classification, email address, and ID number.

    • Do managers have the ability to pull a report or track their employees progress? Yes.  Please see the above tip sheet for instructions on how managers can pull a report of their employees' progress.

      • Can a validator change a Validation Method or Date of Observation after the Observation Checklist has been submitted? Validators don't have the ability to change Validation Methods or Dates of Observation after the checklist has been signed off.  Please email [email protected] to request that a Validation Method or Date of Observation be changed.
