Guidance for consents
 

Will there be guidance regarding consent given by individuals served?  We have a number of individuals in our Outpatient and medical services who would prefer to only be seen via telehealth.  Will it be acceptable to simply mark a checkbox indicating that verbal consent has been obtained, or will it be required to attempt to obtain a "wet" signature?  We frequently do not receive mailed documentation back and many of the people we serve do not have the necessary electronic devices to access emailed forms for signature.
