1.0.0 - CI Build
WHO Digital Documentation of COVID-19 Certificates (DDCC), published by WHO. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 1.0.0 built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/WorldHealthOrganization/ddcc/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions
| Official URL: http://smart.who.int/ddcc/StructureDefinition/DDCCSpecimen | Version: 1.0.0 | |||
| Draft as of 2026-01-19 | Computable Name: DDCCSpecimen | |||
A DDCC Specimen contains the content corresponding to a row in the Test Events section of a Paper DDCC. While this is not a further profile of the International Patient Summary (IPS) Specimen resouce, this is intended to map into an IPS Specimen resource.
