BreastSpecimenModel - Detailed Descriptions

Definitions for oncology-BreastSpecimen-model.

oncology-BreastSpecimen-model
Definition

Specimen resulting from biopsy or excision of breast and surrounding tissue.

Control0..*
oncology-BreastSpecimen-model.type
Definition

The most specific code (lowest level term) describing the kind or sort of thing being represented.

Control1..1
Typehttp://hl7.org/fhir/us/breastcancer/StructureDefinition/cimi-Type-model
oncology-BreastSpecimen-model.type.value
Definition

Code representing the most specific code (lowest level term) describing the kind or sort of thing being represented.

TypeCoding
Alternate NamescodeableConcept
oncology-BreastSpecimen-model.sourceSpecimen
Definition

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

CIMI Alignment: In CIMI V0.0.4, this attribute is called parentSpecimenIdentifier (datatype Identifier). The corresponding element in FHIR (Specimen.parent) is type ref(Specimen). It is impossible to map Idenfier to Specimen, so the datatype of this element has been changed to make the mapping feasible.

TypeBackboneElement
oncology-BreastSpecimen-model.sourceSpecimen.value
Definition

Specimen resulting from biopsy or excision of breast and surrounding tissue.

Control1..1
TypeReference(BreastSpecimenModel)
Alternate Namesspecimen, breastSpecimen
oncology-BreastSpecimen-model.receivedTime
Definition

Time received by accepting facility or unit.

Control0..1
Typehttp://hl7.org/fhir/us/breastcancer/StructureDefinition/shr-core-ReceivedTime-model
oncology-BreastSpecimen-model.collectionTime
Definition

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

CIMI Alignment: Specimen collection time seems to be missing in CIMI V0.0.4. The time may be in the CollectionProcedure, but if the specimen collection time is recorded in Performance.Attribution (a list of actions), it would be nearly impossible to create a mapping.

Control0..1
Typehttp://hl7.org/fhir/us/breastcancer/StructureDefinition/cimi-CollectionTime-model

Definition

How the specimen was obtained.

Definition

A body site specific to the breast structure.

oncology-BreastSpecimen-model.coldIschemiaTime
Definition

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 should actually map to Specimen.processing, part of the Specimen resource. It would be a difficult mapping exercise (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.
