The covered entity (CE), Texas Children’s Health Plan, discovered that a former workforce member emailed protected health information (PHI) to a personal email account between November 2016 and December 2016. The PHI potentially affected included the names, medical information, dates of birth, addresses, and medical records for approximately 952 individuals. As a result of the breach, the CE improved safeguards, updated its policies and procedures, and trained its workforce members on better practices to protect PHI. Further, the CE provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals, and the media. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions listed.
