OCR description

The covered entity (CE) misplaced a binder containing the protected health information (PHI) of approximately 953 individuals from its Maternity Unit. The PHI involved in the breach included names, dates of birth, medical record numbers and limited clinical information. The CE provided breach notification to affected individuals, HHS, and the media. To prevent a similar breach from occurring in the future, the covered entity strengthened its physical safeguards and retrained employees on safeguarding PHI. OCR obtained assurances that the corrective actions listed above were completed.
