Two laptop computers with questionable encryption (each containing the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 350,000 individuals) were stolen from the covered entity's (CE) premises. The types of ePHI involved included demographic and clinical information, diagnoses/conditions, medications, lab results, and other treatment data. After discovering the breach, the CE reported the theft to law enforcement and worked with the local police to recover the laptops. As a result of OCR's investigation, the CE developed and implemented new policies and procedures to comply with the Security Rule. The CE also provided breach notification to all affected individuals, HHS, and the media and placed an accounting of disclosures in the medical records of all affected individuals.
