2. Specimen.meta | |
Definition | The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource. |
Control | 0..1 |

5. Specimen.meta.security:TransplantCenter.system | |
Definition | The identification of the code system that defines the meaning of the symbol in the code. |
Control | 10..1 |
Type | uri |
Summary | true |
Requirements | Need to be unambiguous about the source of the definition of the symbol. |
Comments | The URI may be an OID (urn:oid:...) or a UUID (urn:uuid:...). OIDs and UUIDs SHALL be references to the HL7 OID registry. Otherwise, the URI should come from HL7's list of FHIR defined special URIs or it should reference to some definition that establishes the system clearly and unambiguously. |
Pattern Value | http://terminology.nmdp.org/codesystem/transplant-center |
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
6. Specimen.meta.security:TransplantCenter.code | |
Definition | A symbol in syntax defined by the system. The symbol may be a predefined code or an expression in a syntax defined by the coding system (e.g. post-coordination). |
Control | 10..1 |
Type | code |
Summary | true |
Requirements | Need to refer to a particular code in the system. |
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
7. Specimen.implicitRules | |
Definition | A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc. |
Control | 0..1 |
Type | uri |
Is Modifier | true |
Summary | true |
Comments | Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc. |
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) |
8. Specimen.modifierExtension | |
Definition | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer is allowed to define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions. Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself). |
Control | 0..* |
Type | Extension |
Is Modifier | true |
Summary | false |
Requirements | Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions. |
Alternate Names | extensions, user content |
Comments | There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone. |
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) ext-1: Must have either extensions or value[x], not both (: extension.exists() != value.exists()) |

Definition | The logical id of the resource, as used in the URL for the resource. Once assigned, this value never changes. | ||||
Control | 0..1 | ||||
Type | id | ||||
Summary | true | ||||
Comments | The only time that a resource does not have an id is when it is being submitted to the server using a create operation. | ||||
3. Specimen.meta | |||||

Slicing | This element introduces a set of slices on Specimen.meta.extension. The slices are unordered and Open, and can be differentiated using the following discriminators:
| ||||
6. Specimen.meta.versionId | |||||
Definition | The version specific identifier, as it appears in the version portion of the URL. This value changes when the resource is created, updated, or deleted. | ||||
Control | 0..1 | ||||
Type | id | ||||
Summary | true | ||||
Comments | The server assigns this value, and ignores what the client specifies, except in the case that the server is imposing version integrity on updates/deletes. | ||||
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) | ||||
7. Specimen.meta.lastUpdated | |||||
Definition | When the resource last changed - e.g. when the version changed. | ||||
Control | 0..1 | ||||
Type | instant | ||||
Summary | true | ||||
Comments | This value is always populated except when the resource is first being created. The server / resource manager sets this value; what a client provides is irrelevant. This is equivalent to the HTTP Last-Modified and SHOULD have the same value on a read interaction. | ||||
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) | ||||
8. Specimen.meta.source | |||||
Definition | A uri that identifies the source system of the resource. This provides a minimal amount of Provenance information that can be used to track or differentiate the source of information in the resource. The source may identify another FHIR server, document, message, database, etc. | ||||
Control | 0..1 | ||||
Type | uri | ||||
Summary | true | ||||
Comments | In the provenance resource, this corresponds to Provenance.entity.what[x]. The exact use of the source (and the implied Provenance.entity.role) is left to implementer discretion. Only one nominated source is allowed; for additional provenance details, a full Provenance resource should be used. This element can be used to indicate where the current master source of a resource that has a canonical URL if the resource is no longer hosted at the canonical URL. | ||||
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) | ||||
9. Specimen.meta.profile | |||||

Control | 0..* | ||||
Type | canonical(StructureDefinition) | ||||
Summary | true | ||||
Comments | It is up to the server and/or other infrastructure of policy to determine whether/how these claims are verified and/or updated over time. The list of profile URLs is a set. | ||||
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) | ||||
10. Specimen.meta.security | |||||

15. Specimen.meta.security:TransplantCenter.version | |||||
Definition | The version of the code system which was used when choosing this code. Note that a well-maintained code system does not need the version reported, because the meaning of codes is consistent across versions. However this cannot consistently be assured, and when the meaning is not guaranteed to be consistent, the version SHOULD be exchanged. | ||||
Note | This is a business versionId, not a resource version id (see discussion) | ||||
Control | 0..1 | ||||
Type | string | ||||
Summary | true | ||||
Comments | Where the terminology does not clearly define what string should be used to identify code system versions, the recommendation is to use the date (expressed in FHIR date format) on which that version was officially published as the version date. | ||||
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) | ||||
16. Specimen.meta.security:TransplantCenter.code | |||||

Definition | A representation of the meaning of the code in the system, following the rules of the system. | ||||
Control | 0..1 | ||||
Type | string | ||||
Summary | true | ||||
Requirements | Need to be able to carry a human-readable meaning of the code for readers that do not know the system. | ||||
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) | ||||
18. Specimen.meta.security:TransplantCenter.userSelected | |||||
Definition | Indicates that this coding was chosen by a user directly - e.g. off a pick list of available items (codes or displays). | ||||
Control | 0..1 | ||||
Type | boolean | ||||
Summary | true | ||||
Requirements | This has been identified as a clinical safety criterium - that this exact system/code pair was chosen explicitly, rather than inferred by the system based on some rules or language processing. | ||||
Comments | Amongst a set of alternatives, a directly chosen code is the most appropriate starting point for new translations. There is some ambiguity about what exactly 'directly chosen' implies, and trading partner agreement may be needed to clarify the use of this element and its consequences more completely. | ||||
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) | ||||
19. Specimen.meta.tag | |||||

Control | 0..* | ||||
Binding | For example codes, see CommonTags Codes that represent various types of tags, commonly workflow-related; e.g. "Needs review by Dr. Jones" | ||||
Type | Coding | ||||
Summary | true | ||||
Comments | The tags can be updated without changing the stated version of the resource. The list of tags is a set. Uniqueness is based the system/code, and version and display are ignored. | ||||
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) | ||||
20. Specimen.implicitRules | |||||
Definition | A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc. | ||||
Control | 0..1 | ||||
Type | uri | ||||
Is Modifier | true | ||||
Summary | true | ||||
Comments | Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc. | ||||

21. Specimen.language | |||||
Definition | The base language in which the resource is written. | ||||
Control | 0..1 | ||||
Binding | The codes SHOULD be taken from CommonLanguages
A human language
| ||||
Type | code | ||||
Summary | false | ||||
Comments | Language is provided to support indexing and accessibility (typically, services such as text to speech use the language tag). The html language tag in the narrative applies to the narrative. The language tag on the resource may be used to specify the language of other presentations generated from the data in the resource. Not all the content has to be in the base language. The Resource.language should not be assumed to apply to the narrative automatically. If a language is specified, it should it also be specified on the div element in the html (see rules in HTML5 for information about the relationship between xml:lang and the html lang attribute). | ||||
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) | ||||
22. Specimen.text | |||||
Definition | A human-readable narrative that contains a summary of the resource and can be used to represent the content of the resource to a human. The narrative need not encode all the structured data, but is required to contain sufficient detail to make it "clinically safe" for a human to just read the narrative. Resource definitions may define what content should be represented in the narrative to ensure clinical safety. | ||||
Control | 0..1 | ||||
Type | Narrative | ||||
Summary | false | ||||
Alternate Names | narrative, html, xhtml, display | ||||
Comments | Contained resources do not have narrative. Resources that are not contained SHOULD have a narrative. In some cases, a resource may only have text with little or no additional discrete data (as long as all minOccurs=1 elements are satisfied). This may be necessary for data from legacy systems where information is captured as a "text blob" or where text is additionally entered raw or narrated and encoded information is added later. | ||||
Invariants | Defined on this element ele-1: All FHIR elements must have a @value or children (: hasValue() or (children().count() > id.count())) | ||||
23. Specimen.contained | |||||

Control | 0..* | ||||
Type | Resource | ||||
Summary | false | ||||
Alternate Names | inline resources, anonymous resources, contained resources | ||||
Comments | This should never be done when the content can be identified properly, as once identification is lost, it is extremely difficult (and context dependent) to restore it again. Contained resources may have profiles and tags In their meta elements, but SHALL NOT have security labels. | ||||
24. Specimen.extension | |||||
Definition | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. | ||||

25. Specimen.modifierExtension | |||||
Definition | May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions.
