A virus or malware was potentially installed on the information systems of Bizmatics, Inc., a business associate (BA) of the covered entity, Arkansas Spine and Pain (CE). Approximately 17,100 individuals' electronic medical records were compromised, but the BA and CE were unable to determine whose records or what information, if any, was accessed. OCR obtained a copy of the BA agreement in place between the CE and this BA. This review has been addressed by a separate review of the BA.
