Background information
Explanation of data elements supported
Data element Name | Definition | V2 Mapping | FHIR Mapping | Consider for coding | Value sets suggested in ELR to PH v2.5.1 |
Specimen Type | Precise nature of the entity that will be the source material for the observation | SPM-4 | specimen.type | HL70487 | HL70487 |
Specimen Type Modifier | Modifying or qualifying description(s) about the specimen type | SPM-5 | R5+ = specimen.collection.bodysite reference to BodyStructure.morphology | SNOMED CT qualifier, | SNOMED CT qualifier hierarchy |
Specimen Additives | Any substances introduced to the specimen before or at the time of collection. These additives may be introduced in order to preserve, maintain or enhance the particular nature or component of the specimen | SPM-6 | specimen.container.additiveCodeableConcept | HL70371 | HL70371 SNOMED CT substance hierarchy |

Specimen Source Site | Source from which the specimen was obtained | SPM-8 | R4 = specimen.collection.bodysite | SNOMED CT body site, | SNOMED CT body site hierarchy (per HITSP) |
Specimen Source Site Modifier | Modifying or qualifying description(s) about the specimen source site | SPM-9 | R5+ = specimen.collection.bodysite reference to BodyStructure.includedStructuce.laterality | SNOMED CT qualifier hierarchy | SNOMED CT qualifier hierarchy |
Specimen Collection Site | Site where the collecting instrument is inserted into the body, when it is not the same as the source site | SPM-10 | SNOMED CT body site, | ||
Specimen Container Type | Type of container in or on which a specimen is transported | SPM-27 | specimen.container | SNOMED CT physical object hierarchy |
