Active as of 2022-09-30 Computable Name: SpecimenToxicologyLab

This Specimen profile identifies and describes the specimen sent by a Medical Examiner, Coroner, or autopsy performer to a toxicology lab for analysis. For specimens received but not analyzed, the laboratory should provide a reason for no analysis in the DiagnosticReport.conclusion and/or each unanalyzed specimen’s Specimen - Toxicology Lab Specimen.note. The laboratory may use the Specimen.condition to describe the state of the specimen via codes from the extensible value set hl7VS-specimenCondition and/or use the Specimen.note to describe details or issues about the specimen.
