For the Observer, this is an “Observation To-Do list"

After an observation encounter has occurred (either planned or ad hoc), the Observer completes an observation form.

An observation request can be accepted or declined.

Observer View: Completing an observation

Some information on the observation form is pre-populated…

...while other fields must be completed by the Observer. Several fields are mandatory, such as the final observation rating.

If the EPA is considered to be “in progress”, the Observer can rate the milestones individually and enter comments so the Learner receives more detailed feedback.

Finally, the Observer has the opportunity to evaluate the Learner on professionalism and patient safety.
