Belgian profile for a specimen in a laboratory report. In some laboratory reports, specimen information is allowed to be minimal as many informations concerning the specimen are implied by the observations done. 

**Usages:**

* Refer to this Profile: [BeLaboratoryReport](StructureDefinition-be-laboratory-report.md), [BeObservationLaboratory](StructureDefinition-be-observation-laboratory.md) and [BeSpecimenLaboratory](StructureDefinition-be-specimen-laboratory.md)
* Examples for this Profile: [Specimen/urine1](Specimen-urine1.md)
