Minneapolis VA Health Care System (MN) reported to HHS on 2014-07-17 an Unauthorized Access/Disclosure affecting 500 individuals. The CE sent a batch of 500 letters about a new outpatient clinic, which erroneously caused another member's full name and address to appear on the reverse side of the document. Breached information was located on Paper/Films. The CE notified HHS, affected individuals, and the media, posted a website notice, and implemented a quality assurance check for batch mail. OCR obtained assurances of corrective action.
