Audit Trail

Post by drmaximus » Tue Dec 31, 2013 7:36 am

I am trying to uncover some missing funds and I noticed that the audit trail doesn't show when an invoice has been printed. I am tyring to rule out someone taking cash and then changing an invoice later to reflect a smaller amount and them possibly pocketing the difference. Is there anyway to show which user printed or generated an invoice/statement for the patient?

Invoices and statements typically reflect amounts corresponding to completed procedures. Therefore, in order to change the invoice, they would have to edit a completed procedure twice. Once to change it to the greater amount, then once to change it back. Those edits should show up in the audit trail. I'd recommend removing the "Edit Completed Procedure permission" from the user in question. That way they always have to go through you (or another user that you trust) in order to alter completed procedures. There are even more permissions that you can remove from them in order to safe guard yourself.

The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.
