OCR description
The covered entity’s (CE), computer server containing the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 2,698 patients was stolen during an office burglary. The server was password-protected but not encrypted. The types of ePHI involved in the breach included names, addresses, dates of birth, social security numbers, and medical information. The CE provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals, and the media, and posted substitute notice. Following the breach, the CE encrypted all ePHI on computer workstations and servers. As a result of OCR’s investigation, the CE improved its physical safeguards and retrained employees.
