About this report

A computer was stolen from the covered entity’s (CE) locked medical office. The computer contained the protected health information (PHI) of approximately 2,400 individuals. The PHI involved in the breach included names, addresses, dates of birth, social security numbers, and clinician information. Following the breach, the CE encrypted all PHI in transit as well as at rest, upgraded their facility access controls, and updated their device inventory system. Additionally, OCR’s investigation resulted in the CE creating an acceptable risk analysis and risk management plan. The entity also contracted with a third party to overhaul their privacy and security policies and procedures.
