Why Audit Logs Are a Hidden Safety Net for Clinics

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
  • Team workflows and safety escalations

Audit logs are clinical safety nets

CoreCloud delivers enterprise-quality logging that protects patients, staff, and clinics.
