Sample Preparation
Purpose
Where cell separation is to be applied to a primary sample
Notes
Mapped to Specimen. It is expected processing performed on a specimen will be added to the original Specimen resource unless daughter samples are taken (splitting of the sample prior to processing), in which case a new Specimen resource SHOULD be created
Mapping
| Source Data item | Target FHIR Element | HL7v2.5.1 Mapping | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sample Preparation - Parent primary sample id | Specimen.parent | SPM-3 | Id of primary sample this derived from |
| Sample Preparation - Id (many) | Specimen.identifier.value | SPM-2 | Id of sample provided linked to the previously stated assigning authority. Occurs multiple times. |
| Sample Preparation - Id assigning authority ODS code (many) | Specimen.identifier.assigner | SPM-2.1.2 | Authority who assigned the sample id (e.g. histopathology, SHIMDS, etc). Occurs multiple times. |
| Sample Preparation - Sample storage details | Not in scope for FHIR R4, could use Specimen.note or record this information against Task.input (TBC, if required a request to backport Specimen.container.location will be made to support capture of this information) | SAC-15 | Where a sample preparation is in storage or where it needs to be stored. |
| Sample Preparation - Volume | Specimen.collection.quantity | SPM-12 | Volume of provided sample. |
| Sample Preparation - Performed date | Specimen.processing.timeDateTime | N/A not in scope for HL7v2, may need to replace SPM-17 | Date at which the sample preparation was completed. |
| Sample Preparation - Received date | Specimen.receivedTime | SPM-18 | Date at which a specimen was received at a laboratory. |
| Sample Preparation - Sample preparation | Specimen.processing.procedure | N/A not in scope for HL7v2, may need to be captured within SPM-6 | Cell separation applied to a primary sample. |
