Full breach record for Thomas H. Boyd Memorial Hospital →

Thomas H. Boyd Memorial Hospital (IL) reported to HHS on 2015-05-21 an Unauthorized Access/Disclosure affecting 8,300 individuals. Breached information was located on Paper/Films. A storage facility holding medical records since 1994 was sold to a third party whose new owner held possession for five days without the CE's knowledge. PHI included clinical, demographic, and financial information. Records were retrieved upon discovery; no evidence of further compromise. CE notified HHS, individuals, and media, retrained staff, and revised PHI storage policies. OCR obtained corrective action assurances.
