Updates

The Updates module is the historical record of all actions that take place within the clinic. Its primary function is to allow administrative staff to catch up on schedule movements and audit any changes that may raise questions.

What is the Update History?

Updates is a read-only screen that serves as a static consultation record. It is used to view everything that has happened within the system, making it especially useful when starting a work shift or returning after a weekend.

Information displayed per entry

Each record in the Updates list displays four key pieces of data:

Field	Description
Event	The action that was performed (e.g., Created, Rescheduled, Cancelled)
Patient	The patient associated with the appointment
Author	Who made the change (e.g., "by System" or a specific user)
Time	How long ago the action occurred (e.g., "about 1 hour ago")

Event Types and Filters

To audit correctly, the system allows you to filter by specific event types:

• Created (Creado)

• Status Changed (Estado cambiado)

• Rescheduled (Reagendado)

• Cancelled (Cancelado)

• Deleted (Eliminado)

• Note Updated (Nota actualizada)

Use Cases for Administrative Staff

Shift handoff

Upon starting an afternoon or evening shift, the incoming administrator can:

1. Filter by "Created" and "Cancelled" for the last 4 hours.

2. Review how the agenda moved while they were away.

Note tracking

If you see a new note on a patient's appointment (e.g., "Bringing medical order"), you can check the Updates module to see who added it in case you need further details.
