An AuditRecord carries information pertaining to the creation, deletion, or modification of clinical data. This information includes who performed that action, and where, when, and why that action was performed.
AuditRecord information describes a change to clinical data, but is not itself clinical data. The value of some clinical data can always be changed by a subsequent transaction, but history cannot be changed -- only added to.

| Usage/Business Rules | An AuditRecord applies to any descendent data element that allows a TransactionType and does not have an AuditRecord. Query elements must have their own AuditRecord(s). AuditRecord information describes a change to clinical data, but is not itself clinical data. The value of some clinical data can always be changed by a subsequent transaction, but history cannot be changed -- only added to. For the Archive use case, all AuditRecord information in the data collection system must be provided within the ODM ClinicalData. When the ODM FileType attribute is set to Transactional, every ClinicalData that has a TransactionType must also have an AuditRecord. |
