Do you mean store without names? The conditions, times, places, etc, are inherently PII themselves.
My wife gave birth on a given day in a given hospital. She also broke her ankle once. No names, but record uniquely identified.

By removing the directly identifiable info, the damage done in a breach would be less. Where as now, a single breach contains all the data that could identify a person and every person in that breach, without having to do any/much reverse look up.
Now, the orgs that collect this data does not have a certification standard and verification that they have to obtain before going operational. Even a restaurant kitchen has that.
On that note, I'd say that there should be a severity grading for the data items. Even Eggs have a grading system. Our personal data is a tad more valuable.
