An employee of the covered entity (CE), Bay Park Hospital, accessed the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 594 individuals without a necessary business reason to do so. The ePHI included names, dates of birth, diagnoses and other clinical information. The CE provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals, and the media. Upon discovering the breach, the CE questioned the responsible workforce member, who immediately resigned, and retrained its workforce members on its HIPAA policies and procedures. OCR obtained assurances that the corrective actions listed above were completed.
