I’m working on OpenEMR 4.1.2, trying to build a feature on access control of Patient’s records.

Whenever a clinician/physician/accountant access the patient information (by visiting home page -\> patient/client -\> patient\_name), the user(clinician/physician/accountant) details are stored in a table. Later, I’m using the values in the table and displaying it in a web page.

Here, My question is where do I find the code responsible for generating patient/Client button sitting on the left navigation bar.

And I tried updating the php code in “left\_nav.php” file, but my local website doesn’t show any of the updated text. Is there any process that I’m missing??

All that information is already logged in the ‘log’ table. Why duplicate what exists? Can you just create a specialized report to display the subset of log information or use the existing Audit log report as is.
