OCR description
An unauthorized individual broke into the covered entity's (CE) facility and stole a laptop computer containing the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of approximately 1,000 individuals, including names, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, treatment information, and x-ray images. The CE provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals, and prominent media outlets in Illinois. Following the breach, the CE reported the theft to the local police department, relocated to a new facility, and implemented facility security measures, including a security alarm system. It also enhanced its policies and procedures implementing the Privacy and Security Rules. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions listed.
