A physician of the CE lost a flash drive which he routinely used for data backup and remote access to patient data. The flash drive contained names, dates of birth and treatment notes for approximately 1,711 patients. Following the breach, the CE notified affected individuals. The CE retrained the physician who lost the flash drive and implemented an organization-wide decision to prohibit storage of protected health information on any removable electronic devices. As a result of OCR’s investigation, the CE notified the media and posting substitute notification on its website.
