OCR investigated the covered entity (CE), Asante, after the CE reported a breach of 2,399 individuals’ electronic protected health information (ePHI) due to a workforce member’s inappropriate access to medical records for a couple of years. It also informed OCR of similar incidents during the course of the investigation involving other workforce members. The breaches affected patients' names, ages, locations in the hospital, certain health information, and patients' status. Following the breaches and in response to OCR’s investigation, the CE sanctioned the workforce members involved and implemented a zero tolerance sanctions policy for patient information misuse. OCR obtained documentation that the CE completed security enhancements and network modifications in 2016 and 2017. Additionally, OCR obtained assurances that the CE plans to take additional measures to increase its administrative and technical safeguards of ePHI in 2017 and 2018. In this case, the employee sanctions included termination of employment.
