Specimen information. Section A4 of the MyHealth@EUguideline.

An identifier of the specimen which is unique within in a defined scope. Example: identifier assigned by Specimening system, identifier assigned by laboratory etc. Multiple identifiers can be used. - Preferred system(s):

Biologic type of species for laboratory result reports bound to non-human subjects. - Preferred system(s): SNOMED CT

Specimen material. - Preferred system(s): SNOMED CT

Collection date time or period. - Preferred system(s): ISO 8601

Anatomic location (body location, laterality) where the material is collected, e.g. Elbow, left - Preferred system(s): SNOMED CT

The anatomical location or region of the specimen

Body side of the body location, if needed to distinguish from a similar location on the other side of the body.

Qualifier to refine the anatomical location. These include qualifiers for relative location, directionality, number, and plane.

Morphological abnormalities of the anatomical location where the material is taken, for example wound, ulcer. - Preferred system(s): SNOMED CT

If the material is not collected directly from the patient but comes from a patient-related object, e.g. a catheter

• Preferred system(s): SNOMED CT
• Preferred system(s): EMDN

If the material is not collected directly from the patient but comes from a patient-related object, e.g. a catheter

The name of the device as given by the manufacturer

Model name of the device

Unique device identifier

Name of device manufacturer

If relevant for the results, the method of obtaining the specimen.

Date and time that the material is handed over at the laboratory or specimen collection Centre.

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element and that modifies the understanding of the element in which it is contained and/or the understanding of the containing element's descendants. Usually modifier elements provide negation or qualification. To make the use of extensions safe and manageable, there is a strict set of governance applied to the definition and use of extensions. Though any implementer can define an extension, there is a set of requirements that SHALL be met as part of the definition of the extension. Applications processing a resource are required to check for modifier extensions.

Modifier extensions SHALL NOT change the meaning of any elements on Resource or DomainResource (including cannot change the meaning of modifierExtension itself).

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.
