Resource Profile: Healthy Route Sample

A blood or urine sample drawn from a participant for the study's laboratory investigations.

Carries the collection time the laboratory results refer to. The protocols give the samples their own window after consent, and a result cannot be checked against that window unless the collection time is recorded apart from the result's own time of issue.

Usages:

• Refer to this Profile: Healthy Route Laboratory Report, Healthy Route Measurement and Healthy Route Investigation Request
• Examples for this Profile: Specimen/ExampleBloodSample and Specimen/ExampleUrineSample

You can also check for usages in the FHIR IG Statistics
