What are the typical components of an EpicCare Everywhere audit log entry?

• A. Timestamp, user/role, action (view/send/receive), patient identifier, source, destination, and outcome or errors
• B. Timestamp and patient name
• C. Action only
• D. User name and device type

Answer: (A)

EpicCare Everywhere audit logs are designed to provide a complete trail of data access and exchange. The essential components capture who did what to which patient’s data, when it happened, where the data came from and where it went, and what the result was. Specifically, the fields include a timestamp for the exact event time; the user or role responsible for the action; the action itself (such as view, send, or receive); a patient identifier to tie the event to a specific record; the source system or location and the destination system or location involved in the exchange; and the outcome or any errors encountered. This combination supports accountability, privacy compliance, and troubleshooting by showing not just that an event occurred, but all the context around it.

Other options miss important parts of the picture. For example, mentioning only a timestamp and patient name omits who performed the action, what was done, and the data flow between systems. Stating only the action leaves out who, when, which patient, and where the data moved. Focusing on just the user name and device type omits the patient context, the specific action, the data flow, and any results or errors.
