Austin Area OBGYN, PLLC, the covered entity (CE), reported that on March 13, 2019, an unauthorized individual broke into its facility, stole various small items, and entered the imaging area which contained a limited number of patient radiology files. Although there was no indication that such files were accessed by the individual, this incident compromised the protected health information (PHI) of approximately 930 individuals, including demographic and clinical information. As a result of the breach, the CE added sessions to its HIPAA training program. The CE provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals, and the media. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions listed above.
