Methods, systems, and computer-storage media are provided for generating graphical representations of audit events. A party-of-interest is represented by a central node, and one or more peripheral nodes surrounding the central node represent parties having electronic records accessed by the party-of-interest during a selected time frame. The size of the peripheral nodes represents a frequency of access of the node's respective electronic record. Each of the peripheral nodes is actionable enabling a user to view information related to the audit event.

Graphical representations of time-ordered data

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for recreating a state of a clinical computing system for indicating that a specific activity corresponding to a patient increased prior to an event. Sets of data elements for a patient are extracted from the clinical computing system. State changes for each data element are identified. The state of the clinical computing system is recreated prior to the event by concatenating the sets of data elements based on the state changes for each respective data element.

Recreating a time-ordered sequence of events

A method, system and medium are provided for enabling re-creation of a time-ordered sequence of clinical data. Sets of data elements for a patient are received in sequence from a clinical system, and for each data element a time stamp is attached. For any given set of data elements, a maximum time stamp is determined, implying that all events in a clinical system resulting in modifications to data elements contained in the set occurred on or before the maximum time stamp. A subsequent retrieval from a clinical system yields a set of data elements in which the time stamp for each data element occurs after the maximum time stamp from the previous set.

A method, system and medium are provided for enabling re-creation of a state of a computing system as it existed at a selected time. A plurality of data elements are tracked including functions and reference information employed in calculating one or more of the data elements. Versions of functions and reference information are also tracked. Thereby, a time at which to recreate the state of the system is selectable and the data elements that were available at or before the selected time are identifiable. And the versions of functions and reference information that were available at the selected time are identifiable. The state of the system at the selected time can thus be reviewed or analyzed as desired.
