This will further help the clinic to adhere to the guidelines as specified in the HIPAA Privacy Act.

Audit Trails

This feature helps in keeping track of the log files to identify which user accessed a particular option and when.

Auto log off

If users leave the system idle for period pre-defined by the administrator, the system logs off automatically, and users need to re-login to access the application.
