Without permission from the covered entity (CE), an employee provided a list of patient's names to a local counseling center as the employee was leaving the CE to begin employment at the new counseling center in an attempt to coordinate care of the patients she was treating. The list, containing the PHI of approximately 771 individuals, included names, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, names of the insurance carriers, and facility codes. Following the disclosure, the CE provided breach notification to HHS, the media, and all individuals affected and sanctioned the former employee for violating its policies and procedures. The CE also changed its procedures for list management. The CE sent a reminder to all of its health care providers regarding the handling of PHI and made plans to provide HIPAA compliance information in a quality assurance newsletter.
