PAMS Feature

Audit Trailing

CENTRALISED AUDIT OF ALL EVENTS & ACTIONS

PAMS can audit every event and action that takes place throughout your pre-analytical process.  Events can include user events, such as user logon or logoff, or actions such as positive identification methods used to identify a patient, collection of a sample, or receipt of an order.  Although each user may be mobile and remote to the laboratory, PAMS maintains a central audit trail for every user and device connected to it. Using the audit trail, you have a complete and up-to-date history across every part of your key processes regardless of where each action is performed.  PAMS provides you with logical views of the audit trail that make sense for each management function.  For example, the order tracking view provides you with an order centric view where you can see every action relating to the processing of each order.  Audit trail views, at a glance, give you a complete picture of everything that has taken place, allowing you to quickly pin-point the reason for issues or delays.
