A physician’s assigned laptop computer containing the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of approximately 3,000 individuals was stolen. The type of ePHI involved in the breach included diagnoses and conditions of the individuals. The covered entity (CE) provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals, and the media. Following the breach, the CE updated relevant HIPAA policies, including encryption, to ensure the safeguarding of ePHI and sanctioned the physician involved. OCR obtained assurances that the CE implemented the corrective actions listed above. The CE also notified the deans and directors of all the CE’s healthcare components of the corrective actions taken in response to this incident.
