About this report

Harrisonburg Obstetrics and Gynecology Associates, P.C., the covered entity (CE), reported that on August 11, 20, 2016, a physician and former president of the CE, printed out the protected health information (PHI) of approximately 800 patients prior to his resignation. The CE determined that the reports showed patients' names, account numbers, phone numbers, addresses, dates of service and reasons for the visits. At the time of OCR's review, the CE was in litigation for the return of the reports. The CE disabled all access to such reports except by a few employees with a business need. The CE provided breach notification to HHS, the media, and affected individuals. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions listed.
