Los Robles Hospital And Medical Center in Thousand Oaks, California notified 2,523 patients of a breach involving their business associates, Courier Express/Atlanta, Courier Express/Charlotte & Courier Express US, Inc.
The breach, which occurred on February 14, was reported to HHS as involving “Theft, Unauthorized Access/Disclosure” of paper records. There is no statement that I could find on the hospital’s web site or via a Google search, so it’s not entirely clear what happened here or what kinds of PHI might be involved. The hospital has not yet responded to an inquiry sent by PHIprivacy.net yet asking for a statement or explanation of the incident.
