In Oregon, a small clinic faxed patient records without a cover sheet or proper disclaimer. The fax landed in a public staff room—and someone posted it on social media.
OCR got involved. The clinic paid $42,000 in fines and was required to build a modern communications policy and audit system.
What Went Wrong:– No disclaimer or warning– No audit trail– No internal communication policy review
What Should’ve Happened:✅ Regular compliance assessments✅ Encrypted, trackable communications✅ Staff retraining on PHI transmission
