A portable ultrasound machine containing electronic protected health information (ePHI) of approximately 8,241 individuals was stolen from the covered entity's (CE) facility. The ePHI involved in the breach included patient names, dates of birth, and limited health information. Upon discovery of the breach, the CE conducted a privacy and security assessment of its portable machines to identify vulnerabilities. Following OCR's investigation, the CE updated its privacy and security policies, retrained its employees, and increased physical security to ensure reasonable safeguards.
