Class SpecimenProcessingEvent

This class represents actions performed on a specimen in order to prepare it for future testing. Such actions may include adding an additive or placing the specimen in a container containing a pre-defined additive in order to preserve, maintain or enhance the particular nature or component of the specimen. Other actions include aliquoting a single specimens into multiple subsets, grouping or pooling multiple specimens into one specimen, etc. As a result of this processing event, a new specimen(s) may be created, thus this class contains a pointer (zero-to-many) back to the Specimen class to identify the newly-created Specimen(s).

The use of this field is restricted to specimens upon which all specimen related attributes are identical. This field would only be valued if the [Specimen Role] attribute has the value [Group]." - HL7 Version 2.8, SPM-13.

Identifies the process that was performed. Possible values include: Aliquot, Pool, Spun, etc.

Specimen specimen specimen

Identifies Specimen instance(s) created as a result of a Specimen Processing Event. Note the Id of the newly-created specimens are often derived from the Id of the original specimen. For example, if a samply of whole blood with Id=1234 was spun into two new samples containing plasma (Id=1234-01) and platelets (Id=1234-02), two new Sample instances are created.
