New England Baptist Health, the covered entity (CE), impermissibly disclosed the patient list of a retired physician to the physician and to the outside healthcare provider where the physician referred his patients upon his retirement. The protected health information (PHI) involved included the names and addresses of 7,582 individuals. The CE provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals, and the media. Following the breach, the CE ensured that all copies of the disclosed list were destroyed, applied appropriate sanctions, and retrained its workforce. OCR reviewed the CE’s policies and procedures and obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions listed above.
