Harris Health System, the Houston-area public health system, can't find a couple pages of paper documents with patient information on them. No telling what happened --
the pages disappeared while in route from one facility to another. This happens from time to time.
Harris did the right thing -- notified everyone potentially affected, all 2,300.
This is also why you shouldn't freak out about every reported breach. Some are out of an abundance of caution. There's a 99.9% chance that no PHI got out to the "bad guys," but reporting requirements are such that, that's still considered a breach.
