This Specimen profile represents “substances being sampled or tested. (e.g., nasopharyngeal swab, whole blood, serum, urine, wound swab)” associated with a patient related to a public health event.
It is based on the US Core Specimen Profile profile and further constrains it as follows:
| Use Case | Data Class | Data Element Name |
|---|---|---|
| Case Reporting | Laboratory | Specimen Collection Date/Time |
| Case Reporting | Laboratory | Specimen Identifier |
| Case Reporting | Laboratory | Specimen Source Site |
