Does Epic contain an audit trail for edited or deleted data in Flowsheets?

Epic indeed maintains an audit trail for edited or deleted data in Flowsheets. The audit trail function is crucial in healthcare systems as it ensures accountability and traceability of information. When changes are made to patient data, such as in Flowsheets, Epic logs these actions, allowing healthcare providers to track who made the changes, what the changes were, and when they occurred. This feature enhances clinical safety by ensuring that all modifications to patient records are documented, thus providing a comprehensive history of data management within the system. The ability to review this audit trail helps in identifying trends or discrepancies in patient care, supporting both compliance and quality improvement initiatives.
