An outside computer’s unique numerical code (Internet Protocol address) accessed the covered entity’s (CE) website which contained a database containing the protected health information of 708 patients. The types of PHI involved in the breach included names, social security numbers, and treatment information. The CE provided breach notification to HHS and affected individuals. Following the breach, the CE disabled the website containing the breached PHI. As a result of OCR’s investigation, the CE removed social security numbers from its site, added a time out feature, retrained staff, and completed a risk assessment.
