The resources surrounding data collection are never-ending. The ones I chose to list here will be beneficial if you are new to this topic and want some of the basics.
Personally Identifiable Information: Any representation of information that permits the identity of an individual to whom the information applies to be reasonably inferred by either direct or indirect means. Further, PII is defined as information: (i) that directly identifies an individual (e.g., name, address, social security number or other identifying number or code, telephone number, email address, etc.) or (ii) by which an agency intends to identify specific individuals in conjunction with other data elements, i.e., indirect identification. (These data elements may include a combination of gender, race, birth date, geographic indicator, and other descriptors). Additionally, information permitting the physical or online contacting of a specific individual is the same as personally identifiable information. This information can be maintained in either paper, electronic or other media.

PDMP.mo.gov - SB 63 ushered in PDMP to Missouri, the 50th state to opt in. Sponsoring by Senator Holly Rehder and carried in the House by Rep Travis Smith, Missouri now is participating in a national prescription drug database. It was promoted as a tool to help addicts, but the research shows the database is actually not helpful in fighting the war on Rx drugs addiction. It does, however, centralize Missourian's prescriptions of MANY types of meds.
