An employee of the covered entity (CE), Hancock OB/GYN impermissibly accessed the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 1,396 individuals without a necessary business reason to do so. The ePHI included names, dates of service, medical record numbers, and clinical information. The CE provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals, and the media. Upon discovering the breach, the CE terminated the responsible individuals’ employment. As a result of OCR’s investigation, the CE revised its policies and procedures related to safeguarding ePHI and implemented routine audits of employee access to ePHI.
