About this report

The exposed directory contained names, addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses for 551 individuals. In response to the breach and OCR's investigation, reviewed its safeguards for electronic protected health information, implemented additional access controls, and revised training procedures. The CE provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals, the media and on its website. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions listed above.
