What Do These Audit Trail Codes Mean?

The Audit Trail is very good at capturing significant changes made to your OP -- who changed the patient to Checked In? Who cancelled an appointment? Who deleted an Encounter Note?  

However, the Audit Trail lists only the relevant codes, not the descriptions of what each code means -- this is necessary so performance isn't bogged down. It may therefore be helpful to get a sense of what some of the common codes mean.
