Union of http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ips/StructureDefinition/Specimen-uv-ips and http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-specimen

This is the set of resources that conform to either of the profiles Specimen (IPS) (http://hl7.org/fhir/uv/ips/StructureDefinition/Specimen-uv-ips) and US Core Specimen Profile (http://hl7.org/fhir/us/core/StructureDefinition/us-core-specimen). E.g. what you have to deal with if you get resources conforming to one of them
