OCR description
A business associate (BA), Iron Mountain, discovered that five boxes of archived paper records it was storing for the covered entity (CE), Life Care Center of Attleboro, were unaccounted for or lost. During the course of the investigation, the BA located two of the missing boxes, thus the loss affected the protected health information (PHI) of approximately 927 individuals. The records included demographic, financial, and clinical information. OCR obtained evidence of timely notification of the breach to individuals, the media and HHS and reviewed the BA agreement with Iron Mountain.
