Audit logs track all the relevant records of significant activities related to surveys, portals, and departments in chronological order. You can find the date and time of action along with the username and the activity in detail. However, the audit logs retain only the latest 180 days' history. You can also apply filters to check the activities by user, date, and action. It also captures all the following actions performed in the surveys, portals, and departments—Create, Update, Delete, and Download.
Note |
Department admins can only view their own and their department members' audit logs. |
With HIPAA compliance, you can now track all ePHI modifications and export the audit logs into CSV or spreadsheet formats as well. However, it is the responsibility of the covered entities to protect and retain the data as per HIPAA requirements.
