description	This profile sets minimum expectations for the Specimen resource to record, search, and fetch "substances being sampled or tested. (e.g., nasopharyngeal swab, whole blood, serum, urine, wound swab)" associated with a patient to promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation. It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource and constrains the way the elements are used when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific use cases.	The US Core Specimen Profile inherits from the FHIR [Specimen](https://hl7.org/fhir/R4/specimen.html) resource; refer to it for scope and usage definitions. This profile sets minimum expectations for the Specimen resource to record, search, and fetch information about substances associated with a patient being sampled or tested (such as nasopharyngeal swab, whole blood, or serum). It specifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets **SHALL** be present and constrains how the elements are used. Providing the floor for standards development for specific use cases promotes interoperability and adoption.	Values Differ
