OCR description
AHRC Nassau, the covered entity (CE), mailed questionnaire surveys that contained other clients’ protected health information (PHI), including 1,638 clients’ names and types of services they received from the CE. The CE provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals, and the media. Following the breach, the CE developed a two tier verification process in which mailing lists are checked by its information technology (IT) department and the department requesting the list. It also retrained its IT department personnel on HIPAA. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions listed.
