AU Base Implementation Guide
6.0.0-ci-build - CI Build

AU Base Implementation Guide, published by HL7 Australia. This guide is not an authorized publication; it is the continuous build for version 6.0.0-ci-build built by the FHIR (HL7® FHIR® Standard) CI Build. This version is based on the current content of https://github.com/hl7au/au-fhir-base/ and changes regularly. See the Directory of published versions

## Resource Profile: AU Base Specimen

Official URL: http://hl7.org.au/fhir/StructureDefinition/au-specimen | Version: 6.0.0-ci-build
Standards status: Trial-use | Maturity Level: 1 | Computable Name: AUBaseSpecimen

This profile defines a specimen structure that localises core concepts, including terminology, for use in an Australian context. The purpose of this profile is to provide national level agreement on core localised concepts. This profile does not force conformance to core localised concepts. It enables implementers and modellers to make their own rules, i.e. profiling, about how to support these concepts for specific implementation needs.

### Usage Notes
