The covered entity (CE) reported to OCR that it disclosed electronic protected health information (ePHI) when it inadvertently sent a notification to 1,370 individuals without blind copying the recipients. The ePHI involved in the breach included patients' first and last names and email addresses. The CE provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals, and the media. Following the breach, the CE revised administrative procedures for email communications, enhanced technical measures (including encryption for desktop computers), and retrained staff. OCR’s investigation resulted in the CE enhancing its practices for safeguarding ePHI.
