You Asked:
We have been conducting our Interdisciplinary Group (IDG) meetings virtually since the beginning of the pandemic. I am wondering what ODH is requiring for proof of attendance at these virtual IDG meetings. Our team leaders overseeing the IDG meeting is documenting the names of the individuals in attendance at the meeting and then signing their name to attest to the fact the person was at the meeting. Is that good enough?
