About this report

The covered entity (CE), Long Island Consultation Center, misplaced an unencrypted portable device that contained the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 800 individuals. The ePHI included names, dates of birth, diagnoses, and other treatment information. Upon discovery of the breach, the CE conducted a search for the portable device. The CE provided breach notification to HHS, the media, and affected individuals. As a result of OCR's investigation, the CE improved physical security. The CE also developed and implemented a policy and procedure prohibiting use of portable media for storing ePHI and trained staff on its new policy.
