Identifier assigned by the lab

State of the specimen, such as obtained, processed, used.

The person or thing the sample was obtained from.

When the sample was obtained, as a specific time or time period.

Identifier for the source specimen from which this specimen was derived.

Time the item was delivered to, or accepted by, the receiving facility or unit.

Direct container of specimen (tube/slide, etc.)

Treatment performed on the specimen.

Cautions on the handling of this specimen.

Information about the proper handling of the specimen.

A human-readable identifier for the lesion; e.g., a letter or integer.

The time period between the chilling of a tissue or tissue sample and the time it is warmed. CIMI Alignment: In CIMI Version 0.0.4, specimen processing is represented as a 'SpecimenProcessingPerformed' clinical statement, mapped to FHIR Procedure. However, specimen processing maps to FHIR Specimen.processing, part of the Specimen resource. It would be a difficult mapping exercise (and beyond the scope of this IG) to express the mapping rule that any CIMI SpecimenProcessingPerformed clinical statement needs to mapped to FHIR by (1) finding the corresponding Specimen entity, and (2) mapping the content of (possibly multiple) SpecimenProcessingPerformed into the FHIR Specimen resource. To avoid this complexity, the breast cancer model expresses the cold ischemia time as an attribute of the BreastSpecimen rather than a separate procedure.
