An unencrypted laptop computer and paper patient charts were stolen from the locked vehicle of a workforce member of the covered entity (CE), Little River Healthcare. The protected health information (PHI) potentially affected included the names, dates of birth, and treatment information of approximately 542 individuals. As a result of the breach, the CE improved safeguards, updated its policies and procedures, and trained its workforce members on better practices to protect PHI. Further, the CE provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals, and the media. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions listed.
