Dieses Profil bildet eine Probe ab.

Identifizierung und Eigenschaften der primären oder sekundären Probe, auf deren Basis die Laboruntersuchung als Messung durchgeführt wird. Ein inhaltliches Beispiel für die Unterscheidung von Primär- und Sekundärprobe:

• Primärprobe: Probenart = Vollblut (über LOINC® oder ergänzende Spezifizierung Probenart); Probengewinnung / Methode = Blutabnahme; Probenverarbeitung / Methode = Zentrifugieren

• Sekundärprobe: Probenart = Serum (über LOINC® oder ergänzende Spezifizierung Probenart); Probengewinnung / Methode = Zentrifugieren zur Serumgewinnung; Probe / Ausgangsmaterial = Vollblut

The metadata about the resource. This is content that is maintained by the infrastructure. Changes to the content might not always be associated with version changes to the resource.

The version specific identifier, as it appears in the version portion of the URL. This value changes when the resource is created, updated, or deleted.

The server assigns this value, and ignores what the client specifies, except in the case that the server is imposing version integrity on updates/deletes.

When the resource last changed - e.g. when the version changed.

This value is always populated except when the resource is first being created. The server / resource manager sets this value; what a client provides is irrelevant. This is equivalent to the HTTP Last-Modified and SHOULD have the same value on a read interaction.

A reference to a set of rules that were followed when the resource was constructed, and which must be understood when processing the content. Often, this is a reference to an implementation guide that defines the special rules along with other profiles etc.

Asserting this rule set restricts the content to be only understood by a limited set of trading partners. This inherently limits the usefulness of the data in the long term. However, the existing health eco-system is highly fractured, and not yet ready to define, collect, and exchange data in a generally computable sense. Wherever possible, implementers and/or specification writers should avoid using this element. Often, when used, the URL is a reference to an implementation guide that defines these special rules as part of it's narrative along with other profiles, value sets, etc.

An Extension

Falls die Probe nicht unmittelbar aus dem menschlichen Körper direkt entnommen wird, sondern beispielsweise aus einem Sammelgefäß oder Katheter gewonnen wird.

An Extension

Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.

The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.

Value of extension - must be one of a constrained set of the data types (see Extensibility for a list).

May be used to represent additional information that is not part of the basic definition of the resource and that modifies the understanding of the element that contains it 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 is allowed to 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).

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

Id for specimen.

The purpose of this identifier.

Applications can assume that an identifier is permanent unless it explicitly says that it is temporary.

Identifies the purpose for this identifier, if known .

Allows the appropriate identifier for a particular context of use to be selected from among a set of identifiers.

Für die Probe können unterschiedliche Identifikatoren vergeben werden. Unterschieden werden beispielsweise "Identifkator, den die auftragerteilende Institution vergibt" (Order-Placer, Einsender) und "Identifkator, den die auftragserfüllende Laboreinrichtung vergibt" (Order-Filler, Auftragnehmer). Der ID-Typ gibt an, um welche Art von Proben-Identifikator es sich handelt.

This element deals only with general categories of identifiers. It SHOULD not be used for codes that correspond 1..1 with the Identifier.system. Some identifiers may fall into multiple categories due to common usage. Where the system is known, a type is unnecessary because the type is always part of the system definition. However systems often need to handle identifiers where the system is not known. There is not a 1:1 relationship between type and system, since many different systems have the same type.

Allows users to make use of identifiers when the identifier system is not known.

Code für die Typisierung des Proben-Identifikators.

HL7®-Code für die Typisierung des Proben-Identifikators. In diesem Kontext mögliche Codes sind beispielsweise:

• PLAC (Placer Identifier) - Identifikator, den die Auftragserteilende Institution vergibt
• ACSN (Accession ID) - Identifikator, den das Labor zum Auftragseingang vergibt
• FILL (Filler Identifier) - Identifikator, den das Labor zur Auftragserfüllung vergibt
• SID (Specimen ID)

Codes may be defined very casually in enumerations, or code lists, up to very formal definitions such as SNOMED CT - see the HL7 v3 Core Principles for more information. Ordering of codings is undefined and SHALL NOT be used to infer meaning. Generally, at most only one of the coding values will be labeled as UserSelected = true.

Allows for alternative encodings within a code system, and translations to other code systems.

The identification of the code system that defines the meaning of the symbol in the code.

The URI may be an OID (urn:oid:...) or a UUID (urn:uuid:...). OIDs and UUIDs SHALL be references to the HL7 OID registry. Otherwise, the URI should come from HL7's list of FHIR defined special URIs or it should reference to some definition that establishes the system clearly and unambiguously.

Need to be unambiguous about the source of the definition of the symbol.

The version of the code system which was used when choosing this code. Note that a well-maintained code system does not need the version reported, because the meaning of codes is consistent across versions. However this cannot consistently be assured, and when the meaning is not guaranteed to be consistent, the version SHOULD be exchanged.

Where the terminology does not clearly define what string should be used to identify code system versions, the recommendation is to use the date (expressed in FHIR date format) on which that version was officially published as the version date.

A symbol in syntax defined by the system. The symbol may be a predefined code or an expression in a syntax defined by the coding system (e.g. post-coordination).

Need to refer to a particular code in the system.

A representation of the meaning of the code in the system, following the rules of the system.

Note that FHIR strings SHALL NOT exceed 1MB in size

Need to be able to carry a human-readable meaning of the code for readers that do not know the system.

Text für die Typisierung des Proben-Identifikators.

Very often the text is the same as a displayName of one of the codings.

The codes from the terminologies do not always capture the correct meaning with all the nuances of the human using them, or sometimes there is no appropriate code at all. In these cases, the text is used to capture the full meaning of the source.

Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique.

Identifier.system is always case sensitive.

There are many sets of identifiers. To perform matching of two identifiers, we need to know what set we're dealing with. The system identifies a particular set of unique identifiers.

Identifikator-Wert

If the value is a full URI, then the system SHALL be urn:ietf:rfc:3986. The value's primary purpose is computational mapping. As a result, it may be normalized for comparison purposes (e.g. removing non-significant whitespace, dashes, etc.) A value formatted for human display can be conveyed using the Rendered Value extension. Identifier.value is to be treated as case sensitive unless knowledge of the Identifier.system allows the processer to be confident that non-case-sensitive processing is safe.

The identifier assigned by the lab when accessioning specimen(s). This is not necessarily the same as the specimen identifier, depending on local lab procedures.

Hier wird ein Code für den Probenstatus vor der Messung angegeben:

• Verfügbar: das physische Exemplar ist vorhanden und in gutem Zustand.
• Nicht verfügbar: es ist kein physisches Exemplar vorhanden, da es entweder verloren, zerstört oder verbraucht wurde.
• Nicht geeignet: die Probe kann aufgrund eines Qualitätsproblems, z. B. eines zerbrochenen Behälters, einer Verunreinigung oder eines abgelaufenen Verfallsdatums, nicht verwendet werden.
• Irrtümliche Eingabe: die Probe wurde irrtümlich eingegeben und ist daher ungültig.

This element is labeled as a modifier because the status contains codes that mark the resource as not currently valid.

Codes providing the status/availability of a specimen.

Probenart, ergänzende Spezifizierung Code/Bezeichnung

Der LOINC®-Code impliziert über die LOINC®-Achse SYSTEM bereits eine Probenart. Falls der Wert für die LOINC®-Achse SYSTEM nicht ausreichend spezifisch ist, kann in Bezug auf den LOINC®-Code der Laboruntersuchung, die "Probenart, ergänzende Spezifizierung" (Specimen.type) ergänzt werden. Ein Beispiel: Wenn mit dem LOINC®-Code das Untersuchungsmaterial "Blut" definiert ist, könnte als ergänzende Spezifikation der SNOMED CT®-Code für "arterielles Blut" dokumentiert werden.

If the specimen.type conveys information about the site the specimen has been collected from, then, if the bodySite if present it shall be coherent with the type. For a non-identifiable animal specimen source (e.g. 710069003 | Tick specimen (specimen) |), Specimen.type with the appropriate code shall be used.

The type of the specimen.

Hier wird die Probenart als codierte Information angegeben.

Codes may be defined very casually in enumerations, or code lists, up to very formal definitions such as SNOMED CT - see the HL7 v3 Core Principles for more information. Ordering of codings is undefined and SHALL NOT be used to infer meaning. Generally, at most only one of the coding values will be labeled as UserSelected = true.

Freitext Bezeichnung für die ergänzende Spezifizierung der Probenart. Mögliche Verwendung:

• als Freitextergänzung, wenn die Probenart durch die Spezifikation Laboruntersuchung (LOINC® Code: SYSTEM) nicht ausreichend spezifisch codiert werden kann
• als Freitextergänzung, wenn die die Probenart durch Probenart, ergänzende Spezifizierung/SNOMED CT®-Code nicht ausreichend spezifisch bezeichnet werden kann
• ersatzweise, wenn gar keine passende Codierung zugeordnet werden kann
• wenn zusätzlich eine Freitext-Bezeichnung aus der LDT-Kommunikation übernommen werden soll.

Very often the text is the same as a displayName of one of the codings.

The codes from the terminologies do not always capture the correct meaning with all the nuances of the human using them, or sometimes there is no appropriate code at all. In these cases, the text is used to capture the full meaning of the source.

Where the specimen came from. This may be from patient(s), from a location (e.g., the source of an environmental sample), or a sampling of a substance or a device.

References SHALL be a reference to an actual FHIR resource, and SHALL be resolveable (allowing for access control, temporary unavailability, etc.). Resolution can be either by retrieval from the URL, or, where applicable by resource type, by treating an absolute reference as a canonical URL and looking it up in a local registry/repository.

Must know the subject context.

A reference to a location at which the other resource is found. The reference may be a relative reference, in which case it is relative to the service base URL, or an absolute URL that resolves to the location where the resource is found. The reference may be version specific or not. If the reference is not to a FHIR RESTful server, then it should be assumed to be version specific. Internal fragment references (start with '#') refer to contained resources.

Using absolute URLs provides a stable scalable approach suitable for a cloud/web context, while using relative/logical references provides a flexible approach suitable for use when trading across closed eco-system boundaries. Absolute URLs do not need to point to a FHIR RESTful server, though this is the preferred approach. If the URL conforms to the structure "/[type]/[id]" then it should be assumed that the reference is to a FHIR RESTful server.

An identifier for the target resource. This is used when there is no way to reference the other resource directly, either because the entity it represents is not available through a FHIR server, or because there is no way for the author of the resource to convert a known identifier to an actual location. There is no requirement that a Reference.identifier point to something that is actually exposed as a FHIR instance, but it SHALL point to a business concept that would be expected to be exposed as a FHIR instance, and that instance would need to be of a FHIR resource type allowed by the reference.

When an identifier is provided in place of a reference, any system processing the reference will only be able to resolve the identifier to a reference if it understands the business context in which the identifier is used. Sometimes this is global (e.g. a national identifier) but often it is not. For this reason, none of the useful mechanisms described for working with references (e.g. chaining, includes) are possible, nor should servers be expected to be able resolve the reference. Servers may accept an identifier based reference untouched, resolve it, and/or reject it - see CapabilityStatement.rest.resource.referencePolicy.

When both an identifier and a literal reference are provided, the literal reference is preferred. Applications processing the resource are allowed - but not required - to check that the identifier matches the literal reference

Applications converting a logical reference to a literal reference may choose to leave the logical reference present, or remove it.

Reference is intended to point to a structure that can potentially be expressed as a FHIR resource, though there is no need for it to exist as an actual FHIR resource instance - except in as much as an application wishes to actual find the target of the reference. The content referred to be the identifier must meet the logical constraints implied by any limitations on what resource types are permitted for the reference. For example, it would not be legitimate to send the identifier for a drug prescription if the type were Reference(Observation|DiagnosticReport). One of the use-cases for Reference.identifier is the situation where no FHIR representation exists (where the type is Reference (Any).

The purpose of this identifier.

Applications can assume that an identifier is permanent unless it explicitly says that it is temporary.

Identifies the purpose for this identifier, if known .

Allows the appropriate identifier for a particular context of use to be selected from among a set of identifiers.

Establishes the namespace for the value - that is, a URL that describes a set values that are unique.

Identifier.system is always case sensitive.

There are many sets of identifiers. To perform matching of two identifiers, we need to know what set we're dealing with. The system identifies a particular set of unique identifiers.

The portion of the identifier typically relevant to the user and which is unique within the context of the system.

If the value is a full URI, then the system SHALL be urn:ietf:rfc:3986. The value's primary purpose is computational mapping. As a result, it may be normalized for comparison purposes (e.g. removing non-significant whitespace, dashes, etc.) A value formatted for human display can be conveyed using the Rendered Value extension. Identifier.value is to be treated as case sensitive unless knowledge of the Identifier.system allows the processer to be confident that non-case-sensitive processing is safe.

Plain text narrative that identifies the resource in addition to the resource reference.

This is generally not the same as the Resource.text of the referenced resource. The purpose is to identify what's being referenced, not to fully describe it.

Zeitpunkt des Eingangs der Probe im Labor. Dieser Zeitpunkt sollte nach Möglichkeit minutengenau angegeben werden. Im klinischen Alltag ist die minutengenaue Erfassung nicht immer realistisch.

Ausgangsmaterial für eine Sekundärprobe. Die Sekundärprobe existiert nur auf Basis einer Primärprobe. Wenn eine Sekundärprobe angegeben wird, dann ist das Ausgangsmaterial verpflichtend anzugeben, damit der Bezug hergestellt werden kann.

The parent specimen could be the source from which the current specimen is derived by some processing step (e.g. an aliquot or isolate or extracted nucleic acids from clinical samples) or one of many specimens that were combined to create a pooled sample.

A reference to a location at which the other resource is found. The reference may be a relative reference, in which case it is relative to the service base URL, or an absolute URL that resolves to the location where the resource is found. The reference may be version specific or not. If the reference is not to a FHIR RESTful server, then it should be assumed to be version specific.

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.

Hier wird eine Zeitangabe zur Probengewinnung vorgenommen.

Punktueller Zeitpunkt der Entnahme/Abnahme/Gewinnung der Probe. Dieser Zeitpunkt sollte nach Möglichkeit minutengenau angegeben werden. Im klinischen Alltag ist die minutengenaue Erfassung zur Probenentnahme nicht immer realistisch.

Zeitraum mit Start- und Endzeitpunkt, hier geht es um den konkreten Zeitraum der Probenentnahme.

Beginn eines Zeitraumes.

If the low element is missing, the meaning is that the low boundary is not known.

Ende eines Zeitraumes.

The high value includes any matching date/time. i.e. 2012-02-03T10:00:00 is in a period that has an end value of 2012-02-03.

Dauer steht für eine Zeitspanne, sie ist mindestens durch einen quantitativen Wert und eine zeitbezogene UCUM-Einheit definiert. Hier geht es um die zur Probengewinnung benötigte Zeitspanne, z. B. Sammelurin über einige Stunden.

The context of use may frequently define what kind of quantity this is and therefore what kind of units can be used. The context of use may also restrict the values for the comparator.

Hier wird der numerische Wert der Zeitdauer angegeben. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine Zahl mit optionalen Dezimalstellen.

The implicit precision in the value should always be honored. Monetary values have their own rules for handling precision (refer to standard accounting text books).

Precision is handled implicitly in almost all cases of measurement.

Der Komparator kann sein:

• < (kleiner)
• <= (kleiner oder gleich)

• = (größer oder gleich)

• (größer)

Der häufigste Option ist, dass eine Dauer = (gleich) eines Wertes ist. In diesem Fall wird kein Komparator gesetzt.

How the Quantity should be understood and represented.

Need a framework for handling measures where the value is <5ug/L or >400mg/L due to the limitations of measuring methodology.

Hier wird die Einheit der Zeitdauer angegeben.

There are many representations for units of measure and in many contexts, particular representations are fixed and required. I.e. mcg for micrograms.

The identification of the system that provides the coded form of the unit.

Need to know the system that defines the coded form of the unit.

Hier wird der Code für Einheit der Zeitdauer angegeben.

The preferred system is UCUM, but SNOMED CT can also be used (for customary units) or ISO 4217 for currency. The context of use may additionally require a code from a particular system.

Need a computable form of the unit that is fixed across all forms. UCUM provides this for quantities, but SNOMED CT provides many units of interest.

Methode, mit welcher das Probenmaterial gewonnen wurde. Diese Angabe kommt infrage für

• die primäre Entnahme des Probenmaterials (Primär-Probe) oder
• die sekundäre Probengewinnung (Sekundär-Probe), z.B. Zentrifugat im Labor

Representing fasting status using this element is preferred to representing it with an observation using a 'pre-coordinated code' such as LOINC 2005-7 (Calcium [Moles/​time] in 2 hour Urine --12 hours fasting), or using a component observation such asObservation.component code` = LOINC 49541-6 (Fasting status - Reported).

Codes describing the fasting status of the patient.

Many diagnostic tests require fasting to facilitate accurate interpretation.

Angabe zum Nüchternstatus in codierter Form.

Codes may be defined very casually in enumerations, or code lists, up to very formal definitions such as SNOMED CT - see the HL7 v3 Core Principles for more information. Ordering of codings is undefined and SHALL NOT be used to infer meaning. Generally, at most only one of the coding values will be labeled as UserSelected = true.

Allows for alternative encodings within a code system, and translations to other code systems.

The identification of the code system that defines the meaning of the symbol in the code.

The URI may be an OID (urn:oid:...) or a UUID (urn:uuid:...). OIDs and UUIDs SHALL be references to the HL7 OID registry. Otherwise, the URI should come from HL7's list of FHIR defined special URIs or it should reference to some definition that establishes the system clearly and unambiguously.

Need to be unambiguous about the source of the definition of the symbol.

The version of the code system which was used when choosing this code. Note that a well-maintained code system does not need the version reported, because the meaning of codes is consistent across versions. However this cannot consistently be assured, and when the meaning is not guaranteed to be consistent, the version SHOULD be exchanged.

Where the terminology does not clearly define what string should be used to identify code system versions, the recommendation is to use the date (expressed in FHIR date format) on which that version was officially published as the version date.

A symbol in syntax defined by the system. The symbol may be a predefined code or an expression in a syntax defined by the coding system (e.g. post-coordination).

Need to refer to a particular code in the system.

A representation of the meaning of the code in the system, following the rules of the system.

Note that FHIR strings SHALL NOT exceed 1MB in size

Need to be able to carry a human-readable meaning of the code for readers that do not know the system.

Freitextangabe zum Nüchternstatus.

Very often the text is the same as a displayName of one of the codings.

The codes from the terminologies do not always capture the correct meaning with all the nuances of the human using them, or sometimes there is no appropriate code at all. In these cases, the text is used to capture the full meaning of the source.

Dauer des Nüchternzustandes. Dauer steht für eine Zeitspanne, sie ist mindestens durch einen quantitativen Wert und eine zeitbezogene Einheit definiert.

Representing fasting status using this element is preferred to representing it with an observation using a 'pre-coordinated code' such as LOINC 2005-7 (Calcium [Moles/​time] in 2 hour Urine --12 hours fasting), or using a component observation such asObservation.component code` = LOINC 49541-6 (Fasting status - Reported).

Many diagnostic tests require fasting to facilitate accurate interpretation.

Hier wird der numerische Wert der Zeitdauer angegeben. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine Zahl mit optionalen Dezimalstellen.

The implicit precision in the value should always be honored. Monetary values have their own rules for handling precision (refer to standard accounting text books).

Precision is handled implicitly in almost all cases of measurement.

Der Komparator kann sein:

• < (kleiner)
• <= (kleiner oder gleich)

• = (größer oder gleich)

• (größer)

Der häufigste Option ist, dass eine Dauer = (gleich) eines Wertes ist. In diesem Fall wird kein Komparator gesetzt.

How the Quantity should be understood and represented.

Need a framework for handling measures where the value is <5ug/L or >400mg/L due to the limitations of measuring methodology.

Hier wird die Einheit der Zeitdauer angegeben.

There are many representations for units of measure and in many contexts, particular representations are fixed and required. I.e. mcg for micrograms.

The identification of the system that provides the coded form of the unit.

Need to know the system that defines the coded form of the unit.

Hier wird der Code für Einheit der Zeitdauer angegeben.

The preferred system is UCUM, but SNOMED CT can also be used (for customary units) or ISO 4217 for currency. The context of use may additionally require a code from a particular system.

Need a computable form of the unit that is fixed across all forms. UCUM provides this for quantities, but SNOMED CT provides many units of interest.

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).

There can be no stigma associated with the use of extensions by any application, project, or standard - regardless of the institution or jurisdiction that uses or defines the extensions. The use of extensions is what allows the FHIR specification to retain a core level of simplicity for everyone.

Modifier extensions allow for extensions that cannot be safely ignored to be clearly distinguished from the vast majority of extensions which can be safely ignored. This promotes interoperability by eliminating the need for implementers to prohibit the presence of extensions. For further information, see the definition of modifier extensions.

Referenzierung auf Additiva, die bei der Probenweiterverarbeitung hinzugefügt werden.

References SHALL be a reference to an actual FHIR resource, and SHALL be resolveable (allowing for access control, temporary unavailability, etc.). Resolution can be either by retrieval from the URL, or, where applicable by resource type, by treating an absolute reference as a canonical URL and looking it up in a local registry/repository.

A reference to a location at which the other resource is found. The reference may be a relative reference, in which case it is relative to the service base URL, or an absolute URL that resolves to the location where the resource is found. The reference may be version specific or not. If the reference is not to a FHIR RESTful server, then it should be assumed to be version specific. Internal fragment references (start with '#') refer to contained resources.

Using absolute URLs provides a stable scalable approach suitable for a cloud/web context, while using relative/logical references provides a flexible approach suitable for use when trading across closed eco-system boundaries. Absolute URLs do not need to point to a FHIR RESTful server, though this is the preferred approach. If the URL conforms to the structure "/[type]/[id]" then it should be assumed that the reference is to a FHIR RESTful server.

Plain text narrative that identifies the resource in addition to the resource reference.

This is generally not the same as the Resource.text of the referenced resource. The purpose is to identify what's being referenced, not to fully describe it.

Hier wird eine Zeitangabe vorgenommen.

Im Laborkontext sollte der Zeitpunkt nach Möglichkeit minutengenau angegeben werden.

Zeitraum mit Start und Ende

Beginn eines Zeitraum

If the low element is missing, the meaning is that the low boundary is not known.

Ende eines Zeitraum

The high value includes any matching date/time. i.e. 2012-02-03T10:00:00 is in a period that has an end value of 2012-02-03.

Source of the definition for the extension code - a logical name or a URL.

The definition may point directly to a computable or human-readable definition of the extensibility codes, or it may be a logical URI as declared in some other specification. The definition SHALL be a URI for the Structure Definition defining the extension.

The device resource for the the container holding the specimen. If the container is in a holder then the referenced device will point to a parent device.
