Audit Log System — A Guide to Security and Tracking in Your Practice

An audit log system records every operation that takes place in your practice and ensures security. Tracking who changed patient data, when, and how is important from both a legal and an ethical standpoint. For a modern practice, an audit system is a necessity.

GateDent's audit module automatically records all user activity. Opening a patient chart, modifying data, deleting records, viewing a report — every operation is stored together with the date, time, username, and IP address. These records cannot be altered and can only be viewed by an administrator.

From a security standpoint, an audit system fulfills several important functions. First, it detects unauthorized access attempts. Second, it helps prevent data leaks. Third, it can be used as evidence in legal disputes. Fourth, it makes it possible to monitor staff performance.

GateDent's audit module provides filterable reports. By applying filters based on date range, user, or operation type, you can quickly find the information you need. The system also sends an automatic alert when it detects suspicious activity.
