An employee of the covered entity’s business associate (BA) lost a portable thumb drive containing the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of over 6,000 individuals. The ePHI included demographic information, Medicaid identification numbers, and prescription information. The covered entity (CE), Utah Department of Health, provided breach notification to HHS, affected individuals, and the media. The CE took corrective action to mitigate the situation and implemented a new agreement with its BA to include additional security measures. As a result of OCR’s investigation, OCR obtained assurances that the corrective actions listed above were completed. OCR opened a separate investigation of the BA.
