In both instances, the underlying breach may have been avoided by having an appropriate HIPAA compliance program in place.\u00a0 However, even if the covered entities\u2019 compliance programs hadn\u2019t avoided the laptop theft or the bad conduct of a vendor, their real trouble began when OCR looked at broader non-compliance issues within the organization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CCDH settlement arose from an investigation of CCDH\u2019s business associate, FileFax, Inc.
