The covered entity (CE), Stavros Center for Independent Living, reported that its BA inadvertently sent the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 2,347 individuals to the wrong recipients.

As a result of this incident, the CE terminated its relationship with its BA and updated its policies and procedures related to address verification. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions noted.
