To verify participant attendance for Continuing Education (CE) compliance, AAHN will utilize post-meeting analytics generated directly by the Zoom Web Portal. Zoom’s automated Usage Reports track each attendee via their authenticated email address and unique user ID, documenting exact login timestamps, logout timestamps, and cumulative duration inside the virtual meeting room in minutes. If a participant experiences a dropped connection, the system creates an audited trail of every subsequent re-entry and exit, allowing us to track total active engagement time. This precise, system-generated digital log ensures that CE credits are only awarded to individuals who attend the session.
