On October 21, 2013, an unencrypted laptop computer belonging to a Tennova Cardiology business associate (BA) was stolen from a vehicle. The laptop contained the protected health information (PHI) of 2,777 individuals, and included patient names, dates of birth, dates of service, names of referring physicians, and health information about treatment and diagnostic procedures. The CE provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals, and the media. In response to this breach, the covered entity (CE) conducted an encryption assessment of laptop computers with user system access to PHI and then encrypted all laptop computers. The CE reviewed its policies, retrained staff, and implemented an encryption policy. The CE also terminated the BA agreement and moved the work in-house. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions listed.
