technology
to
share
health
metrics
and
data
with
their
healthcare
provider
via
technology (remote

-
the
use
of
devices
to
capture
patient
data
at
one
location
and
then
transmit
it
electron- ically to healthcare
professionals at a ditterent location, allowing the review of data for clinical decision-making, i.e.
MobileHealth).

Audit
Trails:
Software that is used for detecting security violations, performance problems, and flaws. Records
activity
by
users
and
system.
Goal
is
to
improve
data
integrity.
Audit
trails
are
only
one
of
the
ways
to
ensure
data integrity. An
audit trail must contain the name of the user, the application triggering the audit, the workstation, the
specific
document,
a

of
the
event
being
audited,
and
the
date
and
time
to
determine
the
integrity
of
data.
