About this report

Several computers, including a server, were stolen during a burglary at the covered entity's (CE) premises. The breach affected approximately 25,000 individuals and included names, addresses, dates of birth, social security numbers, driver license numbers, diagnoses, and conditions. Following the breach, the CE provided breach notification to affected individuals, the media, and HHS. It also improved physical security and began using a new model for its management practices with an off-site encrypted database. After the initiation of OCR'S investigation, the CE amended its business associate agreement. \ \ \
