OCR description

An unencrypted laptop computer containing the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 60,998 individuals was stolen out of a workforce member's car. The ePHI stored on the laptop included names, medical record numbers, and services received. The covered entity (CE) provided breach notification to affected individuals, HHS, and the media. Following the breach, the CE established a new internal procedure to encrypt all new computers before they are given to employees. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective action listed above. \ \ \
