On April 9, 2015, OCR received a breach report from the covered entity (CE), Denton County Health Department, stating that on February 15, 2015, an employee used an unencrypted portable computer, to save and print a personal document at FedEx/Kinko’s. The mobile drive contained the protected health information (PHI) of approximately 874 individuals from the tuberculosis clinic. The PHI included lab test results, demographic information, and clinical data. Based on the information gathered during the investigation, OCR has opened a compliance review regarding the CE's potential non-compliance with multiple HIPAA standards and is consolidating this investigation with that review.
