Douglas County Hospital dba Alomere Health, the covered entity (CE), reported that an employee fell victim to an email phishing scheme that affected the protected health information (PHI) of 49,859 individuals. The PHI involved included names, addresses, drivers’ license information, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, lab results, diagnoses, health insurance information, and other treatment information. Alomere notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and provided substitute notice. In its mitigation efforts, Alomere implemented additional administrative and technical safeguards to better protect its PHI, and retrained its staff on the proper methods of identifying fraudulent email communications. OCR obtained assurances that Alomere implemented the corrective actions noted.
