Final Sample
Purpose
For testing, obtained from raw specimen, material to be genomically tested. To support storage, testing and interpretation.
Notes
Mapped to Specimen. It is expected extracted specimens will be additional specimens referencing the parent specimen via the Specimen.parent field.
Mapping
| Source Data item | Target FHIR Element | HL7v2.5.1 Mapping | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Final Sample - Parent primary sample id | Specimen.parent (may be inferred through sample preparation parent, if this is not the primary sample resource) | SPM-3 | Id of primary sample this derived from |
| Final Sample - Parent sample preparation id | Specimen.parent | SPM-3 | Id of sample preparation this derived from |
| Final Sample - Id (many) | Specimen.identifier.value | SPM-2 | Id of final sample provided, linked to the associated assigning authority. Occurs multiple times. |
| Final Sample - Id assigning authority ODS code (many) | Specimen.identifier.assigner | SPM-2.1.2 | Authority who assigned the final sample id. |
| Final Sample - Sample storage details | Not in scope for FHIR R4, could use Specimen.note or record this information against Specimen.container.identifier (TBC, if required a request to backport Specimen.container.location will be made to support capture of this information) | SAC-15 | Where a final sample is in storage or where it needs to be stored. |
| Final Sample - Volume | Specimen.collection.quantity | SPM-12 | Volume of provided final sample. |
| Final Sample - Performed date | Specimen.processing.timeDateTime | N/A not in scope for HL7v2, may need to replace SPM-17 | Date at which the final sample was extracted. |
| Final Sample - Received date | Specimen.receivedTime | SPM-18 | Date at which a final specimen was received at a laboratory. |
| Final Sample - Final sample | Specimen.type | SPM-4 | Material to be genomically tested. |
