About this report

On June 26, 2018, a case manager’s laptop computer and housing participant rent information was stolen from her parked vehicle. The computer did not contain electronic protected health information (ePHI), but potentially provided access to the covered entity's (CE’s) electronic medical records which contained approximately 2,531 individuals’ ePHI. The ePHI potentially affected by the breach included names, social security numbers, addresses, driver’s license numbers, dates of birth, diagnoses, lab results and medications. In response to the breach incident, the CE sanctioned its workforce member. Following OCR’s investigation, the CE provided breach notification to the affected individuals and the media, updated its policies and procedures, and retrained its workforce.
