The PHI involved included names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, addresses, diagnoses, lab results, medications, and other treatment information. In its mitigation efforts, the CE implemented additional administrative, technical, and security safeguards to better protect its PHI. In addition, the CE retrained its workforce members on the proper methods of identifying fraudulent email communications.
