HL7 Europe Laboratory Report
2.2.0-ci - ci-build 150

HL7 Europe Laboratory Report, published by HL7 Europe. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 2.2.0-ci built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/hl7-eu/laboratory/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

EHDS Specimen Mapping

EHDSSpecimen -> SpecimenEu
Ongoing alignment: The mappings are based on the Xt-EHR models 1.0.0. The models may change with the EHDS implementing acts; this guide will follow such changes.
Yellow rows: Rows highlighted in yellow mark model elements that this guide cannot represent yet.

EHDSSpecimen -> SpecimenEu

This page explains how conceptual elements from the EHDS Specimen logical model are expressed in the corresponding FHIR Specimen profile used by this Implementation Guide.

Mapping Context
EHDSSpecimen -> SpecimenEu
EHDSSpecimen (Logical Model) Relationship SpecimenEu
Element Description Relation Resource Element Description Notes
identifier Identifier(s) of specimen. equivalent Specimen identifier Business identifiers.
status Availability/status of specimen. equivalent Specimen status Specimen status.
type Kind of material in specimen. equivalent Specimen type Specimen type.
specimenSource[x] Source subject/location/device. equivalent Specimen subject Who/what specimen is from.
parentSpecimen Parent specimen(s). equivalent Specimen parent Derived from parent specimen.
request Why specimen was collected. equivalent Specimen request Related service request(s).
combined Whether specimen is grouped/pooled. no-map Specimen - R4 Specimen has no such element. Specimen.combined exists only in R5.
collection Collection details container. related-to Specimen collection Collection details.
collection.performer[x] Collector person/organization. related-to Specimen collection.collector, collection.collector.extension:collector Who collected specimen. A health professional is referenced in collection.collector (Practitioner or PractitionerRole). A patient or related person is referenced in the alternate-reference extension on collection.collector. FHIR R4 has no direct target for an organisation; reference a PractitionerRole of that organisation.
collection.collected[x] Date/time or period of collection. equivalent Specimen collection.collected[x] When specimen was collected.
collection.quantity Quantity collected. equivalent Specimen collection.quantity Collected amount.
collection.method Method used to collect specimen. equivalent Specimen collection.method Collection method.
collection.device Device used for collection. no-map Specimen - R4 Specimen has no such element. Specimen.collection.device exists only in R5.
collection.bodySite Anatomic location of collection. equivalent Specimen collection.bodySite.extension:bodySite Body structure the specimen was collected from. R5 cross-version extension carrying a reference to a BodyStructure, since collection.bodySite in FHIR R4 is a CodeableConcept and cannot reference a BodyStructure.
receivedDate Date/time specimen received by lab. equivalent Specimen receivedTime Received time in testing lab.
container Container details. related-to Specimen container Container slice(s).
container.specimenQuantity Quantity inside container. equivalent Specimen container.specimenQuantity Amount in container.
container.containerDevice Device resource representing container. equivalent Specimen container.extension:device Container device reference. Mapped via specimen-container-device extension in this IG.
condition State/condition of specimen. equivalent Specimen condition Current specimen condition.
note Notes/issues about specimen. equivalent Specimen note Annotation text.
