OCR description

Summa Health, the covered entity (CE), reported that several employees were the victims of an email phishing scheme containing the protected health information (PHI) of 2,904 individuals. The PHI involved included names, email addresses, medical record numbers, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, drivers’ license information, and financial data. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and provided substitute notice. To mitigate the breach, the CE implemented administrative, technical, and security safeguards to better protect its data. The CE also retrained its staff on the proper methods of identifying fraudulent email communications. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions noted.
