While the electronic systems were encrypted, the laptop was not encrypted, and only protected with a password. Keeping electronic protected health information (ePHI) off of devices and in HIPAA compliant data centers is one way to avoid a data breach caused by theft or lost laptops, phones, USB drives, etc. A data center that has the required physical, technical and administrative security intact can meet the requirements of HIPAA to protect health data. Securing access to networks via VPN (virtual private networks) and the use of two-factor authentication to log into said networks is the second step. According to FierceHealthIT.com, this isn\u2019t the first data breach for the hospital &#8211; in January, another laptop was stolen from an off-campus physician\u2019s car, and three years earlier in a separate incident, another laptop was stolen by an employee containing patient data. With the amount of laptop incidents the hospital has incurred, one would think finding a way to either keep ePHI or properly encrypt the device or data...","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.otava.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/download-hipaa.png"}
