Miriam Hospital

The covered entity (CE), Miriam Hospital, reported that an employee inadvertently sent an email that contained the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of 2,999 individuals, without using the blind carbon copy function. The ePHI involved included names and email addresses. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and set up a phone line for questions or concerns. In response to the breach, the CE revised its policies and procedures, and retrained its staff.
