The Reports Tab > Auditing

Auditing

The auditing functionality tracks user actions throughout all areas of the application and then stores the auditing information in a database. The auditing information contained in the database can be accessed to provide a detailed log of actions taken by users in the organization as they use the Care360 Labs & Meds, ePrescribing, EHR, and Care360 HD applications. The auditing of user actions provides answers to the following questions:

When was patient information accessed?

When was an action taken that relates to a patient (for example, renewing a prescription)?

What action was taken?

Who took the action or accessed the information?

What patient was involved with the action?

The audit information is accessed by running an Audit report. The Audit report displays information on recently audited actions taken by users within an organization, as well as actions performed by the Care360 Labs & Meds, ePrescribing, EHR, and Care360 HD applications. For example, logging into the application produces an entry in the auditing database. The date and time this action occurred, the action taken (in this case logging in), username, and Event ID all display in the Audit report for this action.

User actions that are audited from the Care360 HD application are limited to the following areas:

Changes to patient demographics.

Viewing of clinical patient information in a patient’s chart.

Retrieval of formulary information while writing prescriptions. This is also audited from Care360 Mobile®.

Changes to patient encounter notes.
