OCR opened an investigation of the covered entity (CE) after it reported an unencrypted laptop was stolen that contained the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 19,178 individuals. The ePHI included names, addresses, zip codes, dates of birth, social security numbers, claims information, and diagnosis codes. Upon discovery of the breach, the CE filed a police report to recover the stolen items. As a result of OCR's investigation, the CE encrypted the backup drive of the contents of the laptop computer. The CE also trained all staff on the use of encryption to safeguard data on personal computers and mobile devices.
