About this report

An unencrypted, password protected laptop computer containing the protected health information (PHI) of approximately 1,500 individuals, was stolen from the covered entity (CE), Dermatology Center of Lewisville. The laptop was used as a storage device and individuals' names and images of individuals' skin conditions. As a result of OCR’s investigation, the CE adopted encryption technologies, updated its Risk Analysis, implemented its corresponding Risk Management Plan, improved physical security, and retrained its workforce members on its revised policies and procedures.
