Which combination of fields is commonly recorded in an EpicCare Everywhere audit log entry?

• A. Timestamp, user/role, action, patient identifier, source, destination, and outcome or errors
• B. IP address and timestamp only
• C. Patient name and address
• D. None of the above

Answer: (A)

Audit logging in EpicCare Everywhere is all about traceability: you need to know who performed what action on which patient’s data, when it happened, where the data moved, and what the result was. A complete audit log entry typically records timestamp, the user or role, the action taken, the patient identifier, the source system or location, the destination, and the outcome or any errors. This combination lets security and compliance teams reconstruct events, verify proper access, and diagnose problems.

Entries that only include an IP address and timestamp don’t identify who acted or which patient data was involved, so they lack essential context. Similarly, recording just a patient’s name and address reveals PII but omits what was done, by whom, on which record, and how the data moved, which are necessary for proper auditing. Therefore, the full set of fields provides the necessary completeness for effective auditing.
