Adventist Health Tulare, the covered entity (CE), reported that its business associate (BA) experienced a cyber-attack that compromised the protected health information (PHI) of approximately 70,802 individuals. The PHI involved included names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, diagnoses, drivers’ license/state identification numbers, and health insurance information. The BA notified affected individuals and the CE notified HHS, the media, and posted a substitute notice on its website. In its mitigation efforts, the CE and BA implemented additional administrative and technical safeguards. Ultimately, the CE terminated its business relationship with the BA.
