Fields​

SpecimenCollection.collector ● Reference object​

Person who collected the specimen.

SpecimenCollection.collectedDateTime ● Date scalar​

Time when specimen was collected from subject - the physiologically relevant time. (choose any one of collected*, but only one)

SpecimenCollection.collectedPeriod ● Period object​

Time when specimen was collected from subject - the physiologically relevant time. (choose any one of collected*, but only one)

SpecimenCollection.duration ● Duration object​

The span of time over which the collection of a specimen occurred.

SpecimenCollection.quantity ● Quantity object​

The quantity of specimen collected; for instance the volume of a blood sample, or the physical measurement of an anatomic pathology sample.

SpecimenCollection.method ● CodeableConcept object​

A coded value specifying the technique that is used to perform the procedure.

SpecimenCollection.bodySite ● CodeableConcept object​

Anatomical location from which the specimen was collected (if subject is a patient). This is the target site. This element is not used for environmental specimens.

SpecimenCollection.fastingStatusCodeableConcept ● CodeableConcept object​

Abstinence or reduction from some or all food, drink, or both, for a period of time prior to sample collection. (choose any one of fastingStatus*, but only one)

SpecimenCollection.fastingStatusDuration ● Duration object​

Abstinence or reduction from some or all food, drink, or both, for a period of time prior to sample collection. (choose any one of fastingStatus*, but only one)

SpecimenCollection.modifierExtension ● [Extension] list object​

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).

SpecimenCollection.extension ● [Extension] list object​

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the element. 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.

SpecimenCollection.id ● String scalar​

Interfaces​

Element interface​

Base definition for all elements in a resource. If the element is present, it must have a value for at least one of the defined elements, an @id referenced from the Narrative, or extensions
