OCR description
On April 27, 2015, rioting broke out in Baltimore, MD and the covered entity (CE), Keystone Pharmacy, was broken into, vandalized and looted. Multiple prescriptions and stock bottles of narcotics were taken. About 150 prescription bags containing patient names and the medications were stolen. The types of protected health information (PHI) contained on the prescriptions included names, addresses, and prescription information. The CE provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals, and the media, and offered credit monitoring. The location was immediately secured. The CE installed a new front door and upgraded the security system. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions listed.
