AI agent for data protection officers
Record Access Audit Agent
Find inappropriate chart access early and give the privacy officer a clear case file.
What it does
Snooping in patient charts is a privacy breach, and it is usually found only after a complaint. This agent reviews the access logs on a schedule. It looks for staff who opened records with no care relationship, such as no appointment, no order and no assignment, and for unusual volumes, like one person opening hundreds of charts in an hour. It checks the person's schedule and role to remove normal reasons, such as covering for a colleague. It builds a case file with the log entries, the context and the reasons it flagged. The privacy officer decides what happens next. Edge case: access to a staff member's own family record is flagged with a higher priority and no details are shown to others.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

- Check for unusual volumes and patterns
- Look for sensitive cases such as colleagues, family and public figures
- Does the context explain the access, for example coverage or a covering shift?If not: Add it to the case file as unexplained. Back to step 6.
