About this report
Documents containing the protected health information (PHI) of 826 PIH Health Hospital patients were stolen from a resident doctor’s private vehicle. The PHI involved in the breach included names, dates of birth, diagnoses, primary providers, hospital unist, and assigned nurses names. The covered entity (CE) provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals, and the media. In response to the breach, the CE sanctioned and retrained the doctor responsible for the breach, trained all residents, developed a new policy prohibiting residents from taking PHI off-campus, and developed signage reminding residents of the new policy. OCR obtained written assurances of breach notifications provided and corrective actions taken.
