Following the breach, the covered entity notified its clients by letter of the incident, submitted a press release that outlined the circumstances of the breach to the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun Times, required the individual who allegedly stole the documents to return all physical patient PHI in her possession and sign a statement swearing that she no longer possessed any patient documents, would not use or disclose the PHI in any manner and would erase an excel spreadsheet she had in her possession, installed a new security system for the office that requires the input of a code specific to each employee, and implemented new technical safeguards that limited employee access to ePHI according to the employee's position and rank. \
