OCR description
Three desktop computers, one laptop computer, and a backup drive, containing the electronic protected health information (EPHI) of 4,328 individuals, were stolen on July 5, 2010. The EPHI involved in the breach included names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, reason for visits, and insurance information. Following the breach, the covered entity implemented backup and whole disk encryption on electronic information systems that maintain EPHI and improved their physical safeguards. Additionally, OCR's investigation resulted in the covered entity improving their administrative safeguards, such as password complexity requirements and data backup protocols.
