# About the LDA Patients module

Archived patient records are only useful if health information management can find them. **LDA Patients** brings each patient's identifying information and archived documents together in a single record. Every document view, download, upload, removal, and field edit is recorded in the patient's event history, which gives records and compliance staff a complete audit trail.

## Key Capabilities

- Search and filter the patient list
- Open a patient's record to review their details, documents, and event history
- Edit patient details
- View and work with documents in the document viewer
- Bulk download patient documents
- View and export event history log

## Navigating to LDA Patients

You can open LDA Patients from the left navigation menu in the **Healthcare Suite**.

1. Log in to VisualVault.
2. Lauch the **Healthcare Suite**.
3. On the left side of the page, click **LDA Patients**.

When you arrive, the **LDA Patients** page displays a table of patients, sorted by last name. A **Search patients...** box is in the upper-right corner, and a refresh icon appears next to the page title. Below the table, you can choose how many rows appear per page and move between pages. The page shows 10 patients at a time by default.

> [!NOTE]
> 🔍 **Troubleshooting Note:** If **LDA Patients** doesn't appear in the **Healthcare Suite** menu, you may not have been granted access to this module. Contact your organization administrator to request access.
