Daniel Drake Center for Post-Acute Care, the covered entity (CE), reported that a workforce member accessed medical records containing the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 4,721 individuals without authorization. The ePHI involved included names, addresses, dates of birth, diagnoses, lab results, and medications prescribed. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and provided substitute notice. Affected individuals were also provided with complimentary identity protection services. In its mitigation efforts, the CE sanctioned the responsible employee and implemented new administrative safeguards to better protect its sensitive data. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions noted.
