A binder containing the protected health information (PHI) of up to 1,272 individuals was stolen from a staff member's vehicle. The PHI included names, telephone numbers, detailed treatment notes, and possibly social security numbers. In response to the breach, the covered entity (CE) sanctioned the workforce member and developed a new policy requiring on-call staff members to submit any information created during their shifts to the main office instead of adding it to the binder. Following OCR's investigation, the CE notified the local media about the breach.
