Monitoring and auditing healthcare provider systems that store, manipulate or transmit electronic patient health information is becoming significantly more important.

The interim Breach Notification Rule that came out in late 2009 increased the need to be able to accurately identify who had accessed information involved in a breach. In 2010 Meaningful Use made it mandatory for systems certified as EHR to have the necessary functionality to create an audit trail of access to patient data to include viewing. In 2011 Accounting for Disclosures, due out in the next 60-90 days, will add to the specificity of exactly what needs to be monitored and reported when a patient requests an accounting of who has seen their record.
