Center for Child Development

The covered entity (CE), Center for Child Development, reported that a workforce member sent an email containing the protected health information (PHI) of 540 individuals to the wrong recipient. The PHI involved included names, dates of birth, and financial and health insurance information. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and provided substitute notice on its website. In response to the breach, the CE retrained the workforce member on email security and revised its HIPAA policies and procedures.
