Laboratory Specialties. Notes: Note 1: This value set is based on analysis of national coding practices in 8 European countries (AT, CZ, DE, FR, IE, IT, PT, SE) and agreed by involved lab experts as a common lab specialty value set. Note 2: Many European countries are using additional laboratory specialty types, which should be mapped towards this value set. Note 3: In case of documented need, this value set could be extended.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
System The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance)
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
Comments Additional notes about how to use the code
