Kirkbride Center (PA) reported to HHS on 2014-11-19 a Theft affecting 860 individuals. In August 2014, an Assistant U.S. Attorney notified the CE that an individual arrested in Florida possessed hard copies of the CE's daily census reports containing patient names, dates of birth, and some SSNs (~869 individuals). The CE's investigation determined a rogue employee stole the reports. The convict was found guilty of identity theft. Breached info located on Paper/Films. The CE notified HHS, media, and patients; offered one year of free identity theft protection; and revised its billing and report-distribution processes per OCR's investigation.
