Not that the audit logs would help anyone except listing "these files were copied by [user account used by hacker] on [date the office was hacked]".

The real issue is that most medical offices still rely on Windows, Active Directory, and Exchange, and most of them are far, far away from up-to-date, patched versions (which actually don't prevent hacks, but make them a bit more difficult).

I was more referencing the application that they, hopefully, use to store their documents. I really hope they are not just stored in a directory, but I guess who knows... some of the applications I have used reference everything in audit logs from when it was uploaded, to who and when it is viewed, any changes, and more. Without the application the data is encrypted at rest so the files are useless without using the application to open them. We have others that are stored within an encrypted database or use blob storage thats encrypted. Anything, but never plain old windows for storage!
