Aultman Hospital, the covered entity (CE), reported that multiple email accounts were hacked which affected the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of approximately 42, 625 individuals. The ePHI involved included names, mailing and email addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, drivers’ license numbers, lab results, diagnoses, medications prescribed, and other treatment information. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and provided substitute notice. The CE also provided complimentary credit monitoring services. In its mitigation efforts, the CE implemented additional administrative and technical safeguards and retrained its staff. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions noted.
