|---|---|---|---|---|
Specimen.type Suggest rename to .substance | https://www.hl7.org/fhir/v2/0487/index.html A v2 value set reused for FHIR | < 105590001 |Substance (substance)| (in which case method and site should also be populated) OR < 49755003 |Morphologically abnormal structure (morphologic abnormality)| OR < 260787004 |Physical object (physical object)| | A ConceptMap exists: https://www.hl7.org/fhir/conceptmap-example-specimen-type.html Another set of specimen type codes used for biobanking, SPREC, is available here (tables 1 and 2). | |
| Suggest new element: Specimen.code | < 123038009 | Specimen (specimen) | | Pre or post coordinated concept which would preclude the population of other code fields. | ||
| Specimen.collection.method | https://www.hl7.org/fhir/valueset-specimen-collection-method.html Extensional ValueSet | 118171006 | Specimen procedure (attribute) | | < 71388002 | Procedure (procedure) | | |
Specimen.collection.bodySite Suggest rename to .source YGA suggests adding this rather than renaming so as to avoid overloading an element with heterogenous data. | Include codes from | 118169006 | Specimen source topography (attribute) | | < 49755003 Morphologically abnormal structure | Previously << 442083009 | Anatomical or acquired body structure | Update 17 March: Not sure where this attempt to broaden collection site has come from. It's not showing as permissible in the MRCM. SV thinks the V2 mapping might be relevant ie https://www.hl7.org/fhir/v2/0487/index.html again also https://www.hl7.org/fhir/specimen-mappings.html#v2 |
| Specimen.collection.method | Note that the method would encompass the device used in obtaining the specimen <706041008 |Device for body fluid and tissue collection/transfer/processing (physical object)| | |||
| Specimen.processing.procedure | https://www.hl7.org/fhir/valueset-specimen-processing-procedure.html A v2 value set reused for FHIR (Most probably nothing in SNOMED CT corresponding directly to those codes) | 118171006 | Specimen procedure (attribute) | | << 71388002 | Procedure (procedure) | | |
| Specimen.processing.additive-->Substance.code | Include codes from Include codes from | primitive | << 105590001 | Substance (substance) | | |
| Specimen.container.type | Include codes from | Attribute type missing here? JC: Is not a defining attribute so shouldn't be modelled as an attribute to the specimen. | ?? << 434711009 | Specimen container (physical object) | ??- only has 3 children. Useful values are distributed elsewhere. Consider << 706437002 |Container (physical object)| still doesn't contain test tube however! Also 706046003 | Specimen receptacle (physical object) | | ValueSet not adequate, e.g. 337386000 | Test tube (physical object) | not included. Generally, little content in SNOMED CT. Terminology requirements?? SPREC, linked above also has a set of container types. |

Specimen.subject ?? Catered for by Specimen.source | 118170007 | Specimen source identity (attribute) | | << 125676002 | Person | OR << 35359004 | Family | OR << 133928008 | Community | OR << 49062001 | Device | OR << 276339004 | Environment | | Overlapping semantics between FHIR and SNOMED CT FHIR is not interested in specifying the class of subject, it would just link to the instance of the particular person resource.

Specimen.type ?? Catered for by Specimen.source | 118168003 | Specimen source morphology (attribute) | | << 49755003 | Morphologically abnormal structure | | SNOMED CT distinguishes site, abnormal morphology, and substance when specifying the material contents of the specimen, while FHIR only has type and collection.bodySite | |
Specimen.type ?? Catered for by Specimen.substance (previously type) | 370133003 | Specimen substance (attribute) | | << 105590001 | Substance (substance)| |
