About this report
Two desktop computers and a USB drive were stolen during a break-in at the CE’s premises. The devices contained the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of approximately 757 individuals. The ePHI involved in the breach included phone numbers, email addresses, state identification card information, demographic, financial, clinical, diagnostic, and treatment information. The CE installed new locks, added HIPAA policies and procedures, and encrypted all mobile devices. As a result of OCR’s technical assistance, the CE revised policies and procedures, moved the back-up server offsite to a secure storage facility, and stopped saving ePHI to local computer drives.
