An unencrypted USB drive was stolen from the vehicle of a University of Miami pathologist. The drive contained the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 1,219 patients, including names, ages, diagnoses, and treatment information. The covered entity (CE) provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals, and the media. It also established a website related to the breach and offered credit monitoring to affected individuals. Following the breach, the CE implemented sanctions by ceasing relations with the pathologist (an independent contractor) and retrained personnel on safeguards, notably encryption, data protection and security awareness. OCR obtained assurances that the corrective actions listed above were completed.
