On January 13, 2012, a laptop computer was from stolen from an employee’s vehicle. The laptop contained the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of approximately 7,757 Kansas Department on Aging customers. The ePHI included customers’ names, addresses, dates of birth, types of services, case managers and their telephone numbers, dates of quality reviews, and names of quality review staff. KDOA filed a police report, provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals, and the media, and issued substitute notice. Following the breach, KDOA retrained its workforce and encrypted all its laptops and thumb/flash drives. OCR obtained assurances that KDOA implemented the corrective action listed above, and upon investigation, OCR determined that KDOA does not meet the definition of a covered entity.
