The EMR Audit Trail: Friend & Foe
with Saira Pasha, Dr. Gita Pensa
In this first episode of Season 2, Dr. Pensa talks with attorney Saira Pasha, an EMR audit trail expert. What else besides the words in your chart does your electronic medical record track? Are 'secure messages' discoverable? (Spoiler: yes, they can be!) How can an audit trail help your case -- or hurt it? How does an audit trail expert 'read between the lines' of who's looking at what entries in the record, and when, and for how long?

About
Saira Pasha is an EMR audit trail consultant and expert witness with experience spanning law, healthcare, and technology. With an undergraduate degree in Operations and Information Management, a law degree, and years of experience analyzing and managing medical malpractice claims, she brings a rare combination of skills to every case. She emphasizes that it is not enough to simply read an audit trail; what matters is knowing which data points truly matter in the context of the case, the timeline of care, and the legal issues in dispute.
Ms. Pasha helps attorneys, clinicians, and risk managers uncover the story hidden in metadata by reconstructing a detailed timeline of care that goes far beyond what can be seen in the printed medical record. EMR audit trails reveal who accessed the chart, what was viewed or changed, and when it happened. Her work focuses on presenting audit trail findings in a way that is clear, accurate, and meaningful for litigation, and she provides consulting, expert testimony, and training designed to make complex technical data understandable and actionable for both legal teams and healthcare professionals.
