About this report
An encrypted laptop computer that contained the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 535 individuals was stolen from the covered entity (CE). The ePHI included names, addresses, and dates of birth. Upon discovery of the breach, the CE filed a police report to recover the stolen item. Following OCR's investigation, the CE disabled the involved staff member's account, verbally counseled the staff member, and retrained the staff member. The CE also adopted and implemented security policies and procedures for laptops/tablet devices and provided training to all staff.
