My apologies if this question has been answered already, I could not find any related information either here on the forums or in the OpenEMR documentation.
The question is this: How does one go about restoring a single patient encounter that someone foolishly deleted from the system? We don’t give anyone permission to delete anything, but someone went ahead & logged in as an admin & deleted an encounter while attempting to delete a scanned note attached to an encounter.
I have backup copies of the OpenEMR database from the night before, but I don’t want to restore the whole DB, just the one encounter that was stupidly deleted.
Is there any feasible way to do this, or is it impossible? The only thing I could think of was to restore the DB on a temp system & try to track down the encounter there, then export the relevant DB entries & re-import (or maybe recreate) them on the working system. Could this work, or is there no way to restore the encounter now that the deletion has taken place?
Side note, when something is “deleted & logged” in OpenEMR, where is it logged & is there a way to view that information?
Thanks!
