Two unencrypted flash drives containing the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 1,167 individuals were stolen from a staff member’s office. The ePHI involved in the breach included names, dates of birth, treatment and diagnosis information, medical insurance identification numbers, and, in some instances, social security numbers. The covered entity (CE), Genesis Rehabilitation Services, provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals, the media, and provided free credit monitoring. The CE retrained all staff members on its policies regarding encryption of flash drives. Additionally, OCR’s investigation resulted in the CE revising its HIPAA policies.
