Audit log rows - actor, role, IP, timestamp, resource, action, and changed fields

Sign-ins, chart opens, note edits, prescription sends, role changes, exports. Each entry has user, timestamp, IP, and the affected record — color-coded by category so the eye scans for the kind of event before reading the row.

Quarterly access reviews

Establishment → Audit → Access reviews. Generate a report listing every active user, their roles, and last login. Mark each as reviewed; the report is timestamped and archived for your compliance file.
