1. Why audit logging matters
Clinics need a truth layer
Most clinics do not think about audit logs until they need them. CoreCloud turns logging into a safety net.
- Disputes like "I never got that message"
- Compliance checks and miscommunication claims
- Safety escalations and staff accountability questions
- Documentation gaps that appear later
2. What CoreCloud logs
Every workflow, time-stamped
- Screening events and PHQ scores
- Item-9 safety triggers
- Incoming and outgoing calls
- SMS reminders and STOP/HELP events
- Scheduling activity and consent changes
- Staff actions and alert escalations
3. Audit logs reduce clinical risk
Memory becomes fact
- "He said / she said" disagreements
- Lost voicemail claims
- After-hours communication risks
- Documentation errors or missed screenings
- Liability during safety incidents
4. Logs support better care
Visibility drives safety
- Was a high-risk patient contacted?
- Were reminders delivered?
- Did a patient open follow-up links?
- Was triage captured correctly?
5. Logs reduce staff stress
Confidence replaces worry
- "Did I log that?"
- "Did anyone follow up?"
- "Did we send that reminder?"
- "Do we have proof of consent?"
6. Logs power leadership decisions
Operational intelligence built in
- Volume trends and completion rates
- No-show patterns and communication success
