Resource Profile: AU Base Specimen

This profile defines a specimen structure that localises core concepts, including terminology, for use in an Australian context. The purpose of this profile is to provide national level agreement on core localised concepts. This profile does not force conformance to core localised concepts. It enables implementers and modellers to make their own rules, i.e. profiling, about how to support these concepts for specific implementation needs.

Usage:

• Refer to this Resource Profile: AU Base Diagnostic Report, AU Base Diagnostic Request, AU Base Pathology Report, AU Base Pathology Result and AU Base Specimen
• Examples for this Resource Profile: Specimen/serum
