Presence Health settled a potential HIPAA violation with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) for $475,000 , according to an article on the Campus Safety website.
The violation was of the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule, which requires healthcare entities to notify the Office for Civil Rights of potential breaches within 60 days of discovery.
The potential breach was discovered on October of 2013, when pieces of paper containing operating room schedules went missing from the Presence Surgery Center in Joliet, Ill.
The papers contained patient names, dates of birth, medical record numbers, dates and types of procedures, surgeon names and types of anesthesia. Presence notified the OCR of the breach on Jan. 31, 2014.
