A laptop computer containing the protected health information (PHI) of 3,500 individuals was stolen from the covered entity's (CE) locked medical office. The PHI involved in the breach included names, addresses, dates of birth, social security numbers, and medication information. As a result of this incident, the CE encrypted all PHI stored on the medical office computers. Following OCR's investigation, the CE improved its physical safeguards and retrained employees.
