system it gives me a date like so:

I find the Get-WUHistory from the PSWindowsUpdate module provides far more
useful information regarding which updates are installed. It has an option
-SendReport but the help for the cmdlet does not provide any information on how
to use the option.
For the purposes of this report, I don't need any more detail than "When were
updates last applied?".
Thanks,

help get-hotfix -full
For your purposes this might work, if you have a small number of computers:
( get-hotfix -computername work1, work2, work3 | sort installedon )[-1]
