A former workforce member impermissibly accessed two medical record storage facilities of the covered entity (CE), Mercy Health/Love County Hospital and Clinic, and stole patients’ medical records and a laptop computer. The potentially affected protected health information (PHI) included the names, addresses, dates of birth, and social security numbers of approximately 38,218 individuals. As a result of the breach, the CE improved safeguards and updated its policies and procedures. Further, the CE provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals, and the media. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions listed.
