On June 5, 2014, the covered entity (CE), reported that a trusted physician who had worked in the office for four years left, and prior to leaving, copied patients’ demographic information including names, social security numbers, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, emails, insurance information and recall dates. The protected health information (PHI) of 5,845 individuals was affected by the breach. Following the breach, the CE improved technical safeguards by installing a firewall, securing browser sessions, implementing strong authentication, antivirus software, and logical access control, and encrypting wireless connections. It also improved physical security and reported that it revised its HIPAA Privacy and Security policies and procedures. During the course of the investigation, OCR learned that the CE is no longer a CE.
