About this report
An unencrypted desktop computer that contained the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 542 individuals was stolen from the covered entity (CE), Kings County Hospital Center. The ePHI included names, medical record numbers, admission and treatment dates, diagnostic treatment, pathology and/or medication information, telephone numbers and ages. Upon discovery of the breach, the CE filed a police report and provided breach notification to affected individuals, HHS, and the media. As a result of OCR's investigation, the CE installed an encryption system for all internal and external computers and laptops. The CE implemented a new policy that prohibits staff from storing ePHI on their local computer hard drives or Windows desktop.
