  1. Date of contact;
  2. Agency contacted, including address and phone number;
  3. Person contacted;
  4. All required information related to the data element, ensuring that the potential participant's name is noted; and

Verbal verifications may be made in-person, via telephone, or through other means of direct contact and must be documented in the participant's file using either the Verbal Verification Form attached to this policy or other means of documentation developed locally, that satisfy the requirements above.
