Two unencrypted desktop computers containing the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 16,820 individuals were stolen from the covered entity (CE). The ePHI included medical record numbers, dates of birth, admission /discharge dates, billing codes, and social security numbers. Upon discovery of the breach, the CE filed a police report and provided breach notification to HHS, the media, and affected individuals. It also provide substitute notification by posting on its website. As a result of OCR's investigation, the CE replaced its building alarm and installed bars on the windows. In addition, the CE directed its staff to save patient data only on a centralized network drive, moved all ePHI stored on desktop hard drives to centralized secured network servers, and encrypted all of its computers. The CE also revised its policy and procedure on password management and provided training to all staff on its new policy.
