This definition therefore includes, for example:

• Information about the natural person collected when that natural person is enrolled for health care services or when those services are provided: a specific number, symbol, or element assigned to a natural person to uniquely identify him or her for health care purposes;
• Information obtained from the testing or examination of a body part or bodily substance, including from genetic data and biological samples;
• Information concerning a disease, disability, risk of disease, medical history, clinical treatment or physiological or biomedical condition of the individual, for example, regardless of its source, such as from a physician or other health care professional, hospital, medical device or in vitro diagnostic test.
