Resource Profile: Specimen (IPS)

This profile constrains the Specimen resource to represent the characteristics of a biological specimens in the context of laboratory results integrated to a patient summary.

Minimal specimen attributes, usable for the laboratory results section and entry of a patient summary.

Usages:

• Use this Profile: Bundle (IPS)
• Refer to this Profile: DiagnosticReport (IPS) and Observation Results - Laboratory/Pathology (IPS)
• Examples for this Profile: Specimen/specimen-example-1
• CapabilityStatements using this Profile: IPS Server Capability Statement
