The covered entity (CE) filed a breach report with OCR after two USB storage devices containing electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 1,474 individuals were lost. The ePHI included names, dates of birth, and treatment information. Upon discovery of the breach, the CE notified individuals, OCR and the media. Additionally, the CE initiated an encryption project to encrypt emails, external hard drives, and related media. Following OCR's investigation, the CE filed a police report, updated its policies and procedures in an effort to better safeguard ePHI, and encrypted USB devices. \ \
