The Georgia Department of Human Services, the covered entity (CE), reported that its business associate (BA), Junk in the Box, improperly disposed of documents containing the protected health information (PHI) of more than 500 individuals. The PHI involved included names, addresses, Social Security numbers, birthdates, diagnoses/conditions, lab results, medications prescribed, and other financial information. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and provided substitute notice. Among the corrective actions taken, the BA implemented additional administrative safeguards and retrained its staff. OCR obtained assurances that the BA implemented the corrective actions noted.
