Account Activity Logging (AAL) Summary
Account Activity Logging allows My HealtheVet registered users to monitor their account activity, such as who accessed the account or made a change, what change was made and when, what information was accessed and when, and the type of action that was performed. My HealtheVet monitors account activity performed by the users, My HealtheVet authenticators, and My HealtheVet Help Desk staff.
In addition, Account Activity Logging allows VHA to maintain user activity records in conformance with applicable compliance requirements of HIPAA privacy and security rules.

Date/Time(CST - Central Standard Time) – The My HealtheVet servers are located in the Central Time Zone and are synchronized with CST. Therefore, My HealtheVet displays all account activity time in Central Standard Time. To convert your time to CST, use the links below.
- Central Standard Time (CST) is the Central Time Zone of the United States of America (USA). Some cities in the CST are Chicago, Houston, Minneapolis, and New Orleans. The Central Time Zone observes standard time by subtracting six hours from Greenwich Mean Time during standard time, and five hours during daylight saving time. The Central Time Zone is one hour behind the Eastern Time Zone and one hour ahead of the Mountain Time Zone in the United States.
