Our Breach Report Toolkit is a free tool we offer to organizations who must prepare for the reporting of breaches to the Office for Civil Rights. This toolkit will guide you step by step through the entire process of breach reporting.
You can learn more about breaches through our online training courses.
A breach is an impermissible use or disclosure under the Privacy Rule that compromises the security or privacy of the protected health information. An impermissible use or disclosure of protected health information is presumed to be a breach unless the covered entity or business associate, as applicable, demonstrates that there is a low probability that the protected health information has been compromised based on a risk assessment. All breaches must reported according to the guidelines of the Office for Civil Rights.
