The covered entity (CE), John A. Grimaldi, DO, Inc., reported that a former employee impermissibly accessed its electronic records system that contained the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 911 individuals. The ePHI involved included names, addresses, dates of birth, drivers’ license numbers, Social Security numbers, claims information, diagnoses/conditions, lab results, medications prescribed, and other treatment information. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and provided complimentary credit monitoring services. In its mitigation efforts, the CE strengthened its technical and security safeguards to better protect its ePHI. During the investigation, OCR provided the CE with technical assistance regarding the HIPAA Security Rule.
