About this report
OCR opened an investigation of the covered entity (CE) after it reported two unencrypted laptops were stolen that contained the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 577 individuals. The ePHI included names and pictures. Upon discovery of the breach, the CE filed a police report to recover the stolen items. As a result of OCR's investigation, the CE encrypted its computers, changed the locks to a numbered key system, and installed a lock to secure portable devices in storage. In addition, the CE started using identification numbers instead of names on patients' files. The CE also revised its security policy and trained all staff on its policies.
