HL7 FHIR® Implementation Guide: Breast Cancer Data, Release 1 - US Realm (Draft for Comment)
This page is part of the Breast Cancer Data Logical Models and FHIR Profiles (v0.1.0: STU 1 Draft) based on FHIR R3. . For a full list of available versions, see the Directory of published versions 
The official URL for this profile is:
http://hl7.org/fhir/us/breastcancer/StructureDefinition/cimi-Specimen
A specimen is a substance, physical object, or collection of objects, that the laboratory considers a single discrete, uniquely identified unit that is the subject of one or more steps in the laboratory workflow. A specimen may include multiple physical pieces as long as they are considered a single unit within the laboratory workflow. A specimen results from one to many specimen collection procedures, and may be contained in multiple specimen containers. Specimen may have one or more processing activities.
CIMI Alignment: This class has been cut down to parts relevant to the current oncology ballot. The attribute parentSpecimenIdentifier has been changed from an Identifier to a reference to a Specimen, to make it possible to map to FHIR.
This profile builds on Specimen.
This profile was published on Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 AEDT 2018 as a draft by The HL7 Cancer Interoperability Group sponsored by Clinical Interoperability Council Work Group (CIC).
