The covered entity’s (CE) employee disclosed protected health information (PHI) to a university practicum student who contacted individuals by email to ask if they would like to participate in a survey related to autism. The PHI involved in the breach included the demographic information of approximately 533 individuals. The CE provided breach notification to HHS and affected individuals. Following the breach, the CE sanctioned and re-trained the involved employee and confirmed that the practicum student destroyed the PHI received. OCR obtained documentation that the CE implemented the corrective actions listed above.
