Summa Health

The covered entity (CE), Summa Health, reported that a workforce member impermissibly accessed the protected health information (PHI) of 874 individuals. The PHI involved included names, addresses, birthdates, social security numbers, diagnoses, lab results, medications, and other treatment information. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, the media, and provided substitute notice. In its mitigation efforts, the CE sanctioned the workforce member and implemented additional administrative safeguards.
