This Observation profile represents laboratory result observations related to a public health event.

It is based on the US Core Lab Result Observation and further constrains it to add a must support specimen.

Usage:

- Examples for this Resource Profile: Observation/us-ph-lab-result-eve-everywoman-lymphocytes and Observation/us-ph-lab-result-eve-everywoman-pertussis
